"Cattletonia "Why Not" which is a cross between a Broughtonia + Cattleya. Red with a yellow center, very small cut a cutie. It is in spike now.

Hi Don

Ctna Why Not is a great little plant but the powers that be decided to change the name:

Guaritonia Why Not
(Guarianthe aurantiaca x Broughtonia sanguinea)

Why oh why???

Thanks Suzanne, I will change my catalog sheet for my orchids. There seems to be quite a few changes in the past couple of years.

There are SO many changes, I couldn't keep up! I've decided to leave my records and tags as they are. If and when I bring something for judging or to enter in a show, I'll change the tag to whatever the name is at that time

I agree! The changes are really too much in my opinion. I think the only one I agree with is the separation of Ryncholaelia from Brassavola. All the others are rediculous. In fact, I personally am not recognizing these silly changes at all and am mounting my own personal boycott.

I have a feeling many will get changed back.
