Posted by Australis (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - Zone 10a) on Mar 7, 2024 10:17 PM concerning plant:
This is Orchid on Newbold's selection of the grex, unfortunately mislabelled as one of its parent species (Iris-Like Cymbidium (Cymbidium iridioides)). The labellum is a clear giveaway that it is actually a Bennett-Poei rather than iridioides due to the tracyanum traits it displays.
It was used in OON's hybrid with Cym. elegans 'Belle', which was mislabelled as Maggie Fowler due to the parent being mislabelled. In reality, the hybrid is a new, unregistered combination (at time of writing).
The original plant is also likely infected with ORSV, as the division I obtained from OON in early March 2024 tested positive for ORSV (OON promptly refunded me when I contacted them).
