Hello mates

I just buy this Cymbidium but I didn´t know the name. If you do, please tell me

, or please tell me some page were I can get some identification on hybrid Cymbidium.

Sorry for the photos but I take it a little bit hurry.

Take care

There are too many hybrids that have been made too make it possible to identify a plant without a name. You'll just have to enjoy the flowers.

It's a NOID .. No Id
Call it what you like ..

Even Noids Need Names!

I enjoyed the reference Dorothy gave, but I tend to dislike the term "noid". Perhaps it is because of my more scientific orientation, I prefer to use the following if it is a Cym:
Cym. hyb. ign. "name of your choice" The hyb. stands for hybrid and the ign. latin for unknown. If it were a Paph. then it would read Paph. hyb. ign. "---".

One can use a pet's name, name of one's street, a relative or friend or something funny for the name within the quotes. Owner's choice but no matter the name, it does have a form of identification.

Its annoying when people remove or move tags -(poor greehhouse manners even to touch someone elses tags without asking) A friend of mine calls unlabeled plants SDSOB. The first part of the initials are Some Dumb. To me selling plants without names also falls to the same label.

Thank you for your answers. I´ll let her like: Cymbidium hybrid, just like that

Happy day

Rodolfo,
I have seen pictures of your country and the orchids that grow there. You should be proud. Nice to have you post. Maybe we can be of more help next time.

Thank you Orchids3.

You can see some pictures in other post of me, talking about a walking in one volcano here in guatemala.

Take care.

Rodolfo,

Using Cymbidium hybrid is fine. Just be sure you put something in single quotes to differentiate it from other unknown Cymbidium hybrids you may have, even if it is only a number, ie '#1'. I also put the color and the date potted on the back of the tag for quick reference.

Well I definitely think there is some Cym lowianum somewhere in there.
