Misnamed plant on EBay?

[Ross]

Here is a link to a plant being sold as Paph Doll Star = sukhakulii x armeniacum. It sure doesn't look like it could be that primary. It looks more like sukhakulii x charlesworthii to me. Any other conjecture?

I think you would be right. Its nothing like an armeniacum cross.
BTW, this is not uncommon with ebay sellers.

JKorchids? Bad eBay practices? Shocking!

I'd concur, but why would you want to buy that one anyway, regardless of what it is named? I don't say the 'U' word very often when it comes to orchids, but that one is Ugly. Yuck.

wasn't looking to buy it, just pointing out it appears to be mis named.

Thanks for pointing that out... not my favorite vendor.

Yeah, if there's armeniacum in that, there's armeniacum in my parentage!:rollhappy:

That is Paph. Sue Worth (sukhakulii x charlesworthii).
