Back in the 50's and 60's there was a waffle and pancake restaurant, a national chain called Sambos, on the menu it told a story about an India Indian who created the batter for the pancakes. I use to like going there when I was a kid, they had good food. I am Caucasian, but growing up in the sixties with a forward thinking mother which married an African American, so I had a black man I called dad for a long time, big deal, In fact when I was nine living in Inglewood,ca. I was bussed to an all white school with a bus full of African American kids, that lasted for a couple of days for me.
This orchid was probably named because the person who made the hybrid back then liked eating at Sambo's. People please stop being so sensitive, go watch and have a good laugh with the movie "blazing saddles".
