    Default Need a name for this orchid cross

    Does anyone know if this cross has been named? It was given to me as a gift over a year ago, and this is its first bloom C. Bactia Grapewax X B. nodosa

    C. Bactia 'Grape Wax' is now Cattlianthe Bactia 'Grape Wax', and your hybrid is Bct. (Brassocatanthe) Memoria Stu Hamilton.

    I used OrchidWiz. In the not-to-distant past, it would have taken one or more volumes of Sanders List of Orchid Hybrids.

    No reference book needed to look up names or parents of registered hybrids. Just look here: The International Orchid Register
