Guessing Game

[IdahoOrchid]

Howdy,

This plant was included as an extra in a package I received recently. The name of the plant is in question so I will not mention the vendor or the name that was on the plant. I will say it is tagged as a primary hybrid though.

What do YOU think it may be? (if you have seen this flower in my other thread please be discreet in your responses)

If the file's name is the supposed hybrid name...I'm pretty confident that's not it.

Looks like barbigerum x charlesworthii to me.

Ah, I messed up and you "peaked" at the name.

You have my guess already, but I'm agreeing with Jon for the record.

Agree with Jon. 'barbi' x 'charles'.

Oh, there is only one thing that could be worse that 'barbi' and that is BAMBI!!!!

BLECH!!!

Off to do a search.....

Well, I found one mentioned in a thread (author contacted) and one on a web page:

Your plant has a much darker, charlesworthii colored dorsal, Steven. Here's pictures of a couple I have.

spicerianum x charlesworthii possible?

Phrag. besseae!

Phrag. besseae!

Nice try, Eric.

I have gotten an email from the vendor and he tells me that the tag is indeed incorrect. Still no hints on what the plant may actually be. He has invited me to call him and discuss the matter.

Keep the guesses coming. Yes, Eric, even you.oke:

Just don't say besseae again! LOL!

H. If it's not a Parvi cross I don't know from Adam!

MYSTERY SOLVED!!!

This orchid is charlesworthii x Via Avila Beach
....Hellas x Avine = Via Avila Beach

Boy, were WE way off!!!

Well, Eric, do you know Adam still?

 

[gore42]

No way.

Doesn't even look a little bit like a novelty hybrid.... and I find it hard to believe that the dorsal ended up smaller than either of the parents, and the petals narrower, etc.....

Or perhaps I'm just having a hard time admitting I was wrong

I could believe that, but I think the flower looks smaller in the pic than it actually is.

[smartie2000]

someone on another forum did mention it could have been a complex one.....I guess he/she was the only one thnking properly lol

Nope. still don't know him. If the pouch isn't pinkish or pubescent i'm not really into it. Call me kinky, whatever...:drool:

This is the only picture I could find of the Via Avila Beach flower. Could charlesworthii alter the shape THAT much? The colors certainly match well enough.
