Sorry, Jim. Seems like the orchid boffins are making a hobby of changing the names . . . and making money at it by selling OrchidWiz to the folks that want/need the right name on their plants. It bothers me that the growers aren't subscribing to OrchidWiz as they should be the ones keeping up with the name changes, but as you say, so many orchids you buy don't have correct tags!

Mabel is a lovely orchid that absolutely does need a shorter name! Hope it is registered soon.

I do remember you telling the bizarre story of the red orchid that turned white after a night in the pool, lucky you didn't have a name for that one, you'd need to change it! Whistling Green Grin!
