I have a small collection of orchids as well; I know what you mean about name changes! I can go to different nurseries here and find exactly the same plant with different names and each place swears theirs is the correct name.
Something I find confusing is two plants that look different but have the same name. I'm told that is not unusual in hybrid cultivars if the "mother" is one and the "father" genre the other the resulting hybrid has one type/color of flower, and if the sexes are reversed the blooms look totally different, but the names remain the same? I wonder if botanists care how easily I can be confused without adding such monkey wrenches into the works! :smily:
Thanks for the heads up about blooming - I have been hoping it would sooner rather than later. I know I can wait until next spring or summer but I'm worse than a 6 year old at Christmas if I have to wait for years!
