One new bloom and an update from the OC. Talk about confusing names and the ever increasing blur between Epidendrums and Encyclias. The tag reads Epi. Mabel Kanda 'Miyao' X Epi Cordigerum 'Paradise'. If I enter Epi. Mabel Kanda in Orchidwiz, it comes up just fine but when I cross it with Epi. Cordigerum I get nothing. So, I search on Epi. Cordigerum and find a synonym of Epy. cordigera. Epy is short for Epicyclia. Then I search on Epi. Mabel Kanda X Epy.cordigera and it gives me Epy. Serena O'Neill. So, I give you Epy. Serena O'Neill, I think. Shrug!

The update is this massive Dendrobium nobile hybrid. I'm guessing it will be my next ribbon winner.
