The orchids (species of Apostasia and Neuwiedia) that are considered to
be most evolutionarily primitive seem to me to be at least of comparable
intellectual interest to those that are studied because they are of
conventional horticultural interest (e.g. Phalaenopsis and groups of
species re

To Paul, thanks for the Back-up. There has to be a point where common sense takes over. As for the judges at ANOS, I dont know many or all of them but to not judge an orchid because of an incorrect name is bad. If they had any mind at all they would have corrected the name for the exhibitor as a f

A couple of months ago I bought several plants of what are supposed to be a yellow form of Phal. lobbii from Best of Thai Orchids. (It's labelled "var. brunescens" for what that might be worth, but the guy was very clear about it being a "yellow" form.) I've found a couple of photos on the web of

Roy;
I've gotta agree with your whole post there mate. When the Dockrillias were
separated from dendrobium there was very little, if any resistance to that
