The International Orchid Register / RHS Gardening

So essentially Tricolor can be the same as yellow panda or Misaki. Even you could give yours a name, put up a picture on the net sell a couple of its division by that name and voila you have created a new name but for the very same plant. The reason for this is that the cross has been remade repeatedly across the globe, so a plant with flower named Tricolor in the USA can be very similar to a plant from the same cross in Taiwan named Yellow Panda by the grower. So I say they are essentially same. None of these cultivars are recognised by any of the registrars as I already mentioned so doesn't matter much. I hope this clears out the matter.
On second thoughts I am confused now, the RHS registry might not be the right place to check for clones, as it will only show us the hybrid the first to be registered, ionfact the clone names could be registered, more and more confusion. May be someone with Orchidwiz or AQplus could chime in.
