I only have feedback on 1... Sometimes vendors don't know what the crosses are named. Especially if they didn't make the crosses. Now, there isn't much excuse for not knowing that cross is Lady Isobel... Could be lazy. Could be they bought them to resell and just kept the tags the growers used (actually that is almost certain). The fact that they tried to sell it as stonei would lead me to believe they aren't particularly expert at paphs.

From the grower/producer perspective, many like to have the clonal names of the parents so that buyers have an idea of what to expect. They want to show that their cross is different from other crosses out there, and that their parents are superior. I certainly try to put the clonal names of the plants I use as studs, not that I'm all that good at breeding.
