Hi Nancy,
My understanding on natural-occurring hybrids is that the plant is
considered just that, a hybrid, and would always be written in upper case. As
for Vanda Motes Indigo, or any named plant, it doesn't matter in which order
the parent names are written. However, if you wanted to know which parent plant
produced the pod and which parent the pollen came from, the pod parent is
listed first. Hope this helps.

Hello -
Last week I asked if the names of naturally-occuring
hybrids are written with upper or lower case; any
clues?
Also, I have a plant labeled V. Fuch's Delight x Vanda
coerulea; with the parents in the opposite order, this
is Vanda Motes Indigo...I think it would have the same
name either way, correct?
Thanks - Nancy
