That is lovely. Does this cross have a registered name? How would one find that out? I tried the search tool on the RHS, but can't seem to make it work.

This one is great!

I think moq. x del. is not registered. Closest thing is Delophyllum which is glaucophyllum x delenatii. I looked in the RHS grex search but didn't turn it up so when that happens I ususally head to ladyslipper.com or slipperorchids.info where the primary hybrids are listed for each species.

Love it!

Heather--

Thanks for those links. They are very interesting and helpful.

 

[Heather]

you're welcome! I'm sorry I didn't provide more info!

Lovely! I have a similar cross (chamberlainianum X Pinnochio) X delanatii which I hope looks as nice as your cross. I think my cross is suppose to be a paler pink.

Thanx for the info Heather. I wish I was better w/ this d@#n digital toy camera. Both pictures are of the same plant, [they're about 2 weeks apart]. The flower was huge before it opened though. I'll measure it later.

Very pretty. I love pink orchids.
