I wonder if orchids' favorite TV personality would be "Vanda" White?

Talking orchid TV personalities

Or Miltonia Berle, and Catteleya Stevens. So obvious. Groan. I'll be really impressed if you come up with one for Vuylstekeara. Maybe a Russian celebrity......maybe a newly discovered noid....I am going away now.

I'd love to impress you and everyone else, but first I've got to find out how the devil you pronounce 'Vuylstekeara'.

Kim needs to know how it is pronounced so that he can make a rhyme or poem with it. He is so talented!

Well that site pronounces the first part of it anyway. Kewl site! Vile stuh kee ahrah is how I pronounce it. Okay so it is a Belgian celebrity, a real one even. Known only to us orchidophiles....well a few of us. My daughter gave me one for Mother's Day. I thought perhaps it was someone having fun naming an orchid.
