Oh well, I'll ask him next time we go visit his greenhouse. Should be a summer sale at Tropiflora coming up! Yes, it is June 24th/25th.

Meantime it appears I'll have to just call this Catt my Coerulea NOID. Seems like "coerulea" is in a lot of names of blue-ish flowers, I think it means "sky" in Latin or something related to blue anyway. I have Vanda coerulea as well as a couple of crosses with it as a parent.

Which brings up another question - Vanda rothschildiana doesn't sound like a species - it has Rothschild's name in it. But I see on my two plant tags and elsewhere with no capital R although it's a primary hybrid of V. coerulea and something else. What's up with that?
