Yes, is has been registered as Paph Bryce Larkin by T. Larkin in 2007. Fumi's Delight is armeniacum x micranthum and they crossed it back to micranthum.

Clear Sky, here are the two links you need to finding any orchid hybrid that has been registered:

http://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/registerpages/orchid_parentage.asp

http://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/registerpages/orchidsearch.asp

Ed:
I don't know if I am a moron or something>>>
I have tried to use the registry site you so considerately sent me the links to,,, with no success....
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I don't get any results when i plug in the names...
Even when I put in tried and true parents to do a beta test, It still comes up with no cross recorded?????
what am i doing wrong there?

First off the clonal names don't matter. Put in as little info as possible. I inserted paphiopedilum for the genus and just Fumi for the grex name in the first of Ed's links. That's it. That yielded five crosses, the second in the list was Bryce Larkin which was Fumi's Delight x micranthum.

Like I said..... "MORON"!!!!!
I am not getting it>>>
I go to the page per Ed's link,
put in paphiopedilum on the first line (genus)
and Fumi on the second box (grex)
I keep on getting an answer that says
"no record in database, try the reverse"
Now I have tried putting it in the seed parent, the pod parent, upside down, I still get the same thing...
what am I doing wrong????

It's nothing you're doing wrong. The RHS program has a big problem with apostrophes. So if you put in Fumi's, you will get nothing. If you put in Fumi you will get the list of hybrids for Fumi's. This is a continuing problem with their database.

And since the name 'Fumi' is an uncommon one, you don't even have to put in 'Paphiopedilum.' Try it. The unrelated hybrids that pop up are few and easy to sort through.

Once you know the idiosyncracies of the RHS search engine, you'll be batting a thousand. laugh

Also if you place any Genus name without the caps , it will not recognize it.

So it is Paphiopedilum. And never abbreviate the Genus...

The OSF has the same problem with apostrophes when posting photos. I have had to put var xxx instead of 'xxx' for the clonal names.

Clear Sky:
I am Tom Larkin (Whippoorwill Orchids) you got the seedling from me. I don't know where or when since I don't recognize your logo. I need to discuss this cross with you as there was a lab mix up and I can tell you how to ascertain which cross you have. The bloom will pretty much dictate. The other cross involved was Fumi's Delight x armeniacum. email me and I can send you pics of what the two bloomings are producing and when yours blooms (if it has not yet) then you will know which it is.
