I bought this as Lady Rothschild seedlings but it looks like a Lady Isabel!:mad:
 
Lady Isabel is roth x stonei while Lady Rotschild is roth x Lady Isabel.

Maybe this LR came out closer to the LI parent. So I would keep the name Lady Rothschild. Very nice roth hybrid by the way. :clap:
 
I'm seeing four flowers on a spike. And the flowers are pretty. I think the tag is correct, just that it favors the Lady Isabel parent.
 
it could be either one...there is no way to tell..when you start getting into complexes , especially breeding back unto the parents..you can have plants that can have a wide range of expression from one parent to another ...i have seen this with Monsoon temptation, PEOY x SAnders Pride, as well as sandy crosses crossed back with sanderianum...basically, the seedlings that this pod came from could have a many plants that look like Lady Roth and Lady Isabel,

True. But I have never seen a Lady Isabel that looked like that. But I have seen a couple of Lady Rothschild's which looked similar. Although I have seen Lady Rothschild's that looked totally different. The variation of complex hybrids as you say. If the label says Lady Rothschild than I see no reason to doubt it.
 
I agree. I can't be categorical but for me, it's a Lady Roth. Nice one with lots of white/yellow color. I like it!
