If I type in Orchid in the search box, I get a page and a half of plants that start with "Orchid" , then half way through the second page, I'm looking at Daylillys. If I want to see Dendrobiums, or an Oncidium there are a lot listed. This would be of no help to someone trying to ID their plant, if they suspected it was an orchid. Is there any way these could all be listed under an Orchid heading, and be alphabetized by genera? Maybe as a Cattleya X Etc.? I know the boffins keep changing genera, but at least they would all be orchids. Maybe some instruction on the Orchid forum as to how they should be added to the Data base? I have no doubt that a few "orchid cactus" and other plants with the name "orchid" in them would be proposed from time to time, but those could be moved to their proper categories.
I got disgusted with DG over the data base (among other things), but I really would like to see this site be a total success.
