I am a newbie that recently inherited a collection of 156 orchids from an elderly may that propagated them for years. Very few are labeled and the vast majority are mounted on boards rather than grown in pots.
I have been 'studying' orchids to learn the basics and most of these are not in bloom so I realize it will be difficult to identify them. I am hoping to at least get to the point of realizing which ones I want to keep and which ones I can give away (or sell if they are of any value).
Would appreciate any help input that is out there for me. I am going to be uploading pictures to a Flickr page and will post that link.
Thank you in advance for any assistance, advice, suggestions!
I have not photographed all 156 but various bits and pieces I thought may be helpful in identification.
I know I have the following - based on labels
1. Bulb. Crassipes
2. Blc. Suehno de Amor
3. Label simply says 'Cattleya (fragrant) Pink w/ Lavender lip'
4. V. Blue Grig 'Chula' x V. Gorden Dillon 'Lea'
5. Dtps 'Pete's Gold'
There are two other tags that are somewhat illegible but this is what I can make out:
1. 'H ?? S-P'
2. 'C-94 W'
I have not done this before so please let me know if you are unable to view the pictures.
