Jim, names are a real buggerboo. One fellow, Dr. Mark Dimmit, tried to create an international registry, but had only Americans, and it went nowhere. The breeding is such a mix, that yes, people in different countries are coming up with similar flowers and giving them different names. A good single red with a dark edge has many names by now. Mr. Ko re-invented a "Triple Santa" and named it "Miracle" There are some tried and true names, but the field is growing by leaps and bounds, with breeders in Thailand and India growing tens of thousands of plants, no exaggeration. I would, if I could get help that'd work for two dollars a day! ha. The two that I posted in another thread, I just saw named "Dazzling Light" on somebody's facebook page.
