So I guess you guys haven't heard about the genus Afripedium... Jon

Did you cross it with a bean leaf Neo?? Jon

ASK QUESTIONS!!!! There are no stupid questions, just a lot of inquisitive idiots...(kidding of course ;)) Ask as many people as many questions as you can think of. If you grow orchids you probably love talking about orchids. I've yet to meet a grower who wasn't completely thrilled to answer...

Here's Druid Spring: Jon

The last one you posted. I think the common name is catchfly. Jon

Great Pics!! Love the Solomon's Seal, I have the same cultivar ;) Especially love the Silene! Jon

This link explains it a little better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triticale Sadly, I watched the spelling bee too. I was quite disappointed that few of the words were english. Jon

How did I miss this thread?? CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Jon

No need to apologize for a flood of pics ;) Great shots!! Jon

Looks like it'll develop into a sheath to me. Jon

One of my favorites, and one of the last ones to inspire me to draw. I really need to draw again, it's been way too long. Jon

It's a nice way of saying the plant was discovered, described, and not seen since. A couple orchids still go by names that were given to other plants that have not been seen since publishing. It's like calling a Paph. rothschildianum a Paph. elliotianum...some taxonomists have decided they are...

To add to the confusion, I've read that victoria-reginae is like glanduliferum in that both are out of cultivation and those in cultivation do not match the original description so they would be chamberlainianum and praestans. I have not checked the original description for victoria-reginae, so...
