Name The Phrag and

[goldenrose]

If you haven't seen my post on Demetria x wallisii, then it's about time you did! This is a Chuck Acker cross, he gave me permission to register it if I would like, so..... help me name the phrag! Here's a few I've come up with -
Demetria's Tresses, Acker's Easter Tresses or Chuck's Slipper Talkin'!
Part 2 - would you use it for breeding? and if so what would you breed it to & why?
It is slow growing, hasn't offered any difficulty and is compact.

What fun, and how exciting for you!

Here's my suggestion: Demetria's Ballet Slippers.

I'd try breeding it to schlimii to pink it up some.

Why not call it Phrag. Slipper Talk?

 

[goldenrose]

that's cute koshki - I like ballet slippers, something that hasn't been used indicated long ribbons! (We certainly wouldn't want to call it Acker's Ballet Slippers now would we?! Chuck would kill me, that's that last time he'd give anyone permission to name one of his X's! :rollhappy
From a breeding standpoint, I'd want to maintain the petal length & the color, keep the compactness but add vigor. Hmmm...

Here's my suggestion: Demetria's Ballet Slippers.

Personaly, I've never liked it when a hybrid name completely encapsulates the name of one of its parents. I can only imagine several years from now, someone is gonna read a broken or partially-legible tag and think it's Demetria itself. But that's just me.

Let's go all the way then - Slipper Talk.com!

That's OK Nik we still love you! You make a good point but I'm one who likes to be able to identify a cross that way insead of guessing - what is Mem. Chuck Acker? Who the heck has the slightest idea? Even if is comes to a partially legible tag at least half of it is right! The question I asked Chuck was - it was considered wallisii when he made the cross, is it now Demetria x warscew_______ for registration purposes or will the confusing mess continue?

 

[Shiva]

I like that! :clap: I'd love to put that on a tag once I get a division. :drool:

 

[W. Beetus]

I would use wallisii for registration purposes just for continuity, in case the names ever change again. It would be bad if they were changed again and this cross was thought to originate from what was originally called warscewiczianum.

Ok, Nikv, then how about "Rose's Ballet Slippers"?

:rollhappy: - this instantly came to mind-
'If Dem Walls Talked'
:sob:

 

[SlipperFan]

That's even better!!!

 

[Heather]

'If Dem Walls Talked'

That's my favorite so far.

 

[nikv]

If you're into current events, you could always call it Phrag. Royal Wedding 'William and Kate'. Or not.

 

[Shiva]

That's my favorite so far.

Sorry! You lost me. Must be the cultural divide. Goodnight!

I believe that's Heather's favorite so far ....
The No-No-No list is getting the most play here!

 

[Heather]

'If Dem walls talked' is my favorite.

 

[NYEric]

'If Dem walls talked' is cute but I would mention something about the gold-honey color!

 

[Erythrone]

Sorry! You lost me. Must be the cultural divide. Goodnight!

You lost me too!

Isn't it a too complicate name?? 4 words for a grex name is not too long?

OK, I know, there are already some very long names...like Phrag. La Vivace Epicure Phyllis D. Turner!!

I was just trying to be funny... :evil:
