can't read phal tag

[greg_s]

I have found myself in possession of a white phal with a tag that I cannot read. I have been looking on line to see if I can piece together what this cross is but can't get enough from the tag to get very far. I have written to the greenhouse that it origionally came from to see if they have some sort of standard cross but I never heard back from them.

I was wondering if anyone can make out what this tag says and what this cross might be.

Thanks very much.

Greg

The first phal listed in the cross is P. Taisuco Kochdian.

Oops, you beat me to the first one. How about one of these for the second name:
Musashi City
Musashino
Musashino Moon
Musashino Neal
Musashino White

The second phal listed in the cross looks like P.(Musashino x something). Just a guess. Try contacting Peter Lin at Big Leaf Orchids. He's a phal hybridizer who may be able to help you further.

Does that look like "nui" in front of the word "Color"? Maybe "Aliinui"

Does the phal's seller have a website you can browse & see if the same phal is there? I've ID'd a few of mine that way. I've found, if you contact the grower, they'll rarely bother to reply. I asked a grower once if they could email me a picture of a cattleya they sold to me, & they emailed me back saying "Are you crazy? we have over 10,000 catts!"
well, I never asked that question again!

If it was recent, and you can go to the location where you got it, some times you can find more plants with same tag, only legible.

Thanks very much everyone for your help with this. This is definatly putting me closer to a final id of this plant. To answer some of the questions:

Cynthia: yes that does look like "nui" before the color. What would an "aliinui" marking indicate? It has been a while since this plant was purchased so going back might be a dead end but I will definately give it a try. Can't hurt to check.

Daniel: I have double checked their web site and it seems like the only ones that they list by name are the ones that they are pushing at the moment. The other ones they just list by color.

Thanks again everyone! I will keep searching and post the final results if I find anything.

Thanks,

Greg

The Aliinui is Phalaenopsis Aliinui, a registered hybrid. You might email the company again asking if they have ever sold a Phalaenopsis that was a P. Taisuco Kochdian X P. (Musashino [or Musashino ...] X Aliinui) or a name similar to this, and then include the picture again with the email. Or better yet, don't include the picture, but put it on a picture sharing site, and include a link to the picture, because some people don't like openning emails with attachments, for fear of a virus attack.
