Looking at some of my No ID orchids, that helpfull users on this game
have named for me, got me to wondering

Some items that I posted as a DGMRA no name (based on the visuals of
the Pseudobulb) have been ID as Odontocidium's . I also have
Vulystekeara's which look so simialr, I do not know what the

Any pointers to sites that can give tutorials, or books? The Ortho
books I have don't get that specific?

Sigh. Eventually You can quite holding my hand
