Coelogyne :-) That's the one my mother always called 'colly ogny' -- All right then it's correctly Koy-lo-gin-ee (as it's Latin) but commonly it's called see-lo-gie-nee. :-) Pronounced it wrongly for years until an Orchid nurseryman out Greenham Common way (Thatched Lodge Orchids*) told be otherwise. *sadly long gone. A neighbouring gardener of ours was having some skin problems from plants and was prescribed an ointment called 'Cicatrin' (Wellcome). The ointment works very well, but how is its name pronounced? -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |
