Cattleya question
I have a plant that is labeled Ewrica alba - Does anyone have any idea what
this is? Could it be Cattleya Erica var alba. PLEASE DO NOT DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON EWRICA - you will find nothing but "adult" websites. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- John Mallery Husband, Father, Juggler, Comedian and Gardener www.tallbaldandcrazy.com |

Cattleya question
I suppose it could be Eurica - is this a genus? A species? A grex? I can't
find any information - any thoughts. I'll post a picutre on ABPO as soon as it blooms. The plant comes from the College of the Ozarks in Branson, MO - they have a large orchid collection and they sell divisions Jan - March (probably other times as well). Students do the repotting and labelling, apparently not always clearly... John "Ray" wrote in message ...

I would expect that they'd at least be able to clarify what the tag says from an image of the tag and a photo of the plant as it is right now. After all, they really ought to know what they're selling; but that assumes their horticulturalist and botany department staff are competent. I am not surprised when Home Depot staff don't know the plants they're selling, but I'd expect college or university staff would be able to give you all the information about taxonomy and natural history available for a given species or hybrid from the existing scientific literature. That may seem harsh, but as a scientist I expect academic institutions and staff to adhere to a much higher standard than other organizations and their staff. This derived from a combination of professionalism and the respect I have for those scientists I personally know. If you haven't done so, I'd encourage you to send them email with a digital photo of the tag and another of the plant as it is right now. Cheers, Ted |
