Got it. I changed my records but all my labels will still have the Pot. as the genus. I have several hundred orchid labels that were Blc., Pot., Schom., etc. as received from the grower/hybridizer. It is simply too much time, trouble, and expense to re-do them all. Perhaps I will just re-do them as new labels are needed. Practically no one in the orchid community has changed the original names and according to the two growers/hybridizers in Hawaii, they don't plan on doing so.

It is hardly worth the effort to list what I have in the data base. That data base is just not built to list orchids. Also, it would just take me too long to cross-check my 50-75 (or more!) varieties with the RHS, which in its self, is not an easy chore if I don't know what name changes have occurred.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
