OMG! What a JOB!! Finally made my Chid list!

[cb977]

Thanks Sue, But what's the DIF on Caps, and Abbreviatons or spelling out, on my own list?
You got me there?

Camille did a great job in explaining

I didn't mean to say you can't write your own list the way you want to but since this is all a learning experience for all of us, I thought you would want to know the correct form of writing the names. Many people abbreviate the genus names of orchids incorrectly which usually wouldn't be a problem but sometimes their chosen abbreviation could be the correct one for a different chid

Ronald wrote a great article on the subject for our contest:

Here's a link I posted a while back...of course, lots of these names have since been changed but the standards are listed:
