Char,
"Sometimes there is a problem with misuse of terms, calling something an eye when it should be watermark, or eye when the bloom has a band. Self is another commonly misused term."
"...but even if you know the terms it can still make a search difficult if a hybridizers description doesn't include them or uses them incorrectly."
Yes, this explains a lot of the confusion I have experienced.
"The most common way of listing seems to be the overall or base color is listed first then the markings, eyezone, midrib, edge...the texture may be added, velvet or creped for example... throat color is typically listed last."
I would have thought the specific order would have been required, guess not(no wonder I could not figure it out), doesn't seem right texture should be listed with color, but they didn't ask me.
Thanks, all that helped me realize I need to really limit the things I put in the color box and keep it very basic and not try to narrow the choice down very much with the use of this box. I was hoping to be able to have a more exact color description order.
