Rob,

I beg your pardon... did you really just say (or insinuate) on this public
forum in front of thousands of viewers/my_customers that the Cattleya
species I sell on my website are not species and as far from being a species
as any hybrid?

Just say yes or no.

Mick

PS no need for a dig at us brits!



But of course those line bred species cattleyas are about as close to
the 'original species' as any hybrid. *grin* After a dozen generations
in captivity they probably wouldn't survive 10 minutes in the native
habitat.

Just poking a stick into the hornet nest...
