Ha! Too true! I could blame the name changes but in reality I was too lazy to spell Caladenia again, *G*! (See? Is that spelled right, LOL!)

I went on a bus tour of various greenhouses this past weekend, a couple of which were species growers. You should have heard me mangling pronunciations. Most names I've only ever read either online or in books & magazines, never heard them spoken. I have a tendency to drop syllables or reverse them, especially with long names. My eye just skips over long names, *G*. I must say Dan Newman is quite a gentleman, politely repeating each name to correct me instead of slappin' me upside the haid, LOL!!
