ES is of course correct. You should listen to him; he really knows what he is doing and gives great advice. He's been a great help to me through the years. I like the old names because they contain information that the new names often don't. Still, I should use the correct nomenclature, but old habits and all.
ES, are there actually any Odontoglossums left, or have they all been merged with Oncidium?
