Diana,

It's Pronunciation, not Pronounciation.

I have always said BrahSAHvola.

I'm no judge... but I do play one on TV.

All,

I, and everone I know who grows orchids around here, have always
pronounced
Brassavola with the emphasis on the third syllable (the vol).

Recently, at the WPB Judging center, a couple of judges announced that the
word is pronounced "BrahSAHvola.

What do you guys have to say? Is everyone in my orchid society
mispronouncing the word, as well as growers, etc?
