Question Wondering about names of phals

A few days ago I was reading a thread where members were playing detective to figure out the ACTUAL names of their orchids. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the names I have are correct...or can figure them out from the grower's shorthand!

The first phal was purchased in a plastic pot which is stamped Baldans Kaleidoscope Gold. (It's a peach colored orchid with purple veining through the flower.)

The second phal was in a pot stamped Brother Golden Potent. (It's a medium yellow...which tapers to orange and pink at the very center).

Thanks!

Usually unless I have a specific reason to doubt the name of an orchid as tagged I usually believe what is written on the tag.

Hi, Mam. Your Baldan's Kaleidoscope Gold full name would be:

Baldan's Kaleidoscope 'Golden Treasure'. I've seen it offered in many different places this year, so it's quite likely that this is what your plant is. BTW, I call this plant "Baldan's Godzilla" because in addition to being beautiful, it is extremely vigorous. AND floriferous, putting up multiple spikes with many flowers. A real winner.

Brother Golden Potent is probably Brother Golden Potential, which according to Orchidwiz is yellow with pink and "sienna" at the center. Close enough, don't you think? I haven't seen this one, but it sounds lovely.

Hope this helps.
