    Default Unknown Ascocenda

    Here is a NO ID Ascocenda (as what the owner was claiming). I saw this in an orchid farm in Davao City. I only bought a keiki from this plant. Could someone properly identify this for me... Thank you!

    Perhaps one of the group that grows a lot of Vanda types might be able to come close but even with an extreme closeup it might be very difficult to pin it down exactly. It is gorgeous though!

    Identification of hybrids from their flowers is extremely difficult and unreliable, as the variability of the genetic makeup from a single cross, and the effect of cultural parameters on flower morphology confuse things really well.

    As others have said, any precise identification of a NoID hybrid is extremely unlikely. There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of hybrids that could look much like this and that is just the named crosses. No matter how much it "looks just like" something, it is uncertain unless perhaps a common source or partial tag helps confirm it.

    One thing can be confirmed, it does appear to be an Ascocenda type, not purely classic Vanda, and nothing suggests it might be a Mokara type or other similar class of hybrid.

    As has already been stated, very difficult to give you an answer. Think of a name you like and use it! It is a keeper!

    Looks similar to some of the John De Biase ascocenda's I've seen.
