I wasn't going to put a comment on name changes,,,but I think people have some poor reason's for not putting the correct name on their posts.
I drive along the same section of highway every day I go to work, the speed limit 100 kph, the other week it was dropped to 80 kph, image the mess if people didn't accept the change.
Having said that I have been aroud 'Orchids' for 60 years, growing etc. for the past 40 years ( my Dad was a large grower here ) I accept the name changes, don't like some of them but accept them. I like a lot of other people here repot about every 2 years, I always do up a new label and check the RHS for it's correct name, NOT HARD.

Can you tell me why they might think the new classifications are not worth it?
Do not be lazy just change your tags from BLC to RLC

Wow, Bruce, you have just topped my list for the rudest member on OB, what a shame. This place has a reputation for friendliness, so don't mess it up. For a little light on this taxonomical mess, read this, which was written by a REAL taxonomist, Taxonomy and Orchids I think you will find that this backs all of us up COMPLETELY! |
