Phrag. La Vivace Epicure Phyllis D. Turner

[Phrag-Plus]

I'm reviving this thread because this plant received an HCC/AOS award this past weekend at the Greater Lansing Orchid Society show.

And I have a question for Robert:
Can you tell me a little about the name? The judges are curious, and so am I!

Congradulation! It is very nice!

Partly. Do you know why the "La Vivace Epicure" part???

Me too!
Does that translate to something that connects it with Phyllis D. Turner?

Maybe Scott McC. can tune in (if he is still reading Slippertalk), but his family named it after his aunt (Phyllis D. Turner) who passed away. Apparently she liked to go to Italy on vacations, so the first part is in Italian, and basically "La Vivace Epicure Phyllis D. Turner" means "The vivacious (or lively) Phyllys D. Turner who likes to eat and drink wine". (an Epicurean is a "wine and food lover").

Hope this explains it.

Makes perfectly good sense now! Thanks Robert!

Fascinating name story, too.

Interesting, Robert. It would be fun to know more about this person. She sounds like quite a character.
