    Default What do abbr. "KF" and "CY" stand for in unregistered Phals?

    On some orchid shopping sites they have abbr. after crosses that do not have a registered name. Just wondered what they stand for if anything and is there a list or info on ORCHID Jargon? Maybe it is particular to the grower ?

    Most of the time the letter like you have asked about stand for the nursery that made the cross.
