Lin,

I may do that. I just haven't fooled with them yet, so they are sitting in a good place being happy for the time being. I haven't pulled a label out to run it in the database, which may answer the question anyway. But if it doesn't, I may put it in the Plant ID forum for discussion. I really enjoy that forum and think it serves a useful purpose even when there isn't a conclusive solution. It sure points to the problem with 'common' 'sold as' names. Unfortunately it also points out just how fluid the 'official' botanical names can be sometimes. Honestly, I don't know how orchid growers ever know what they are growing because the names keep changing so often. It has to be difficult to learn the botanical name and use them for years and then have it be reclassified. It's as hard to unlearn something as it is to learn something, I think. Sticking tongue out
