What do you think of this clonal name

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Below is a photo of a micranthum that I bought in bud in 2006 from Orchid Inn. According to my notes it bloomed and only lasted 5 days or so. That growth eventually died off and a new 8 inch growth grew in it's place. That took me how many years?:rollhappy: Honestly I don't recall the color tone nor did I write it down from that first blooming. The other day it opened and I don't usual give things a clonal name but I thought one might be in order this time. I was thinking about 'Nice and Light'. So what do you think of my flower and or the proposed clonal name? If you look real hard you can see just a slight ting of pink.

you can definitely call it awesome nice growing.

Well done. Th ename is good. I can't tell because of the exposure of the photo, is it v. eburneum?

Eric, I can't answer that question. The exposure on the photo is correct. That is exactly as the flower looks. When I hold it up to the sun light you can barley see any pink coloring but it is there, but so, so light in color. Remember, I'm looking for pink as that is what I expected. When you look at that flower it appears white to the naked eye until you get real close to it and put it in the sunlight.

[Scott Ware]

Based on my initial reaction to the photo, 'Bet You Wish It Were Yours' would be appropriate.

 

[eggshells]

I'll call it 'Gift from Bob' when you send it to me.

Beautiful micranthum! Cool variation on the usual colors.

The name may have a little room for improvement but I don't think the flower does. It is excellent.

How about 'Bubble Yum'

 

[Ozpaph]

'Snow White's Blush'.

 

[The Mutant]

'Porcelain God'

:wink:

That really is a good clonal name coming from Australia. I might just use that name if you don't mind. Then again Porcelain God ist a pretty good name as well. Of those and mine, which one do you guys and girls like best?

 

[PaphMadMan]

'Porcelain Goddess' Slightly more subtle. Descriptive. Appropriate for a BEAUTIFUL flower.

I vote for 'Porcelain Goddess'. If name length and copyright were not an issue, I might go with 'Please Don't Squeeze the Charmin' !!

 

[abax]

I call it gorgeous.
