So what? Have the plants themselves changed?

No, JD. But, the "so what" is that we need to be able to talk to each other.
People are lining up as splitters and lumpers. The judges don't all accept
the changes. The AOS, in its own magazine, is confusing the issue by calling
a species different names in a pictorial article.

This stuff seems to be causing consternation and confusion within the orchid
growing community, and if the AOS and the judges can't get it right, how are
the rest of us supposed to do so?

Isn't that the scientific method when the devil is inthe details?
