    It may be in the stack here at the computer, LOL...I tend to pull tags when I am going to post and sometimes forget to get them back into the pot. I have now changed that habit so it doesn't happen again. I can't even find it in my inventory

    I'll just call it Zygo "shark bite"

    I used to have this problem too. I am horrible when it comes to spelling, so I would pull the tags and take them to the computer and forget to put them back. Now, I just photograph the bloom, plant, and then the tag. That way, when I upload the photos to my computer, I have the name of the orchid along with its bloom and plant shot. I just put each one in a different folder inside a folder with that month's name and year. This has helped me. I hope it helps someone else too.

    cheers,

    You have given me food for thought. I would need to change my way of recording. I now file all my photos in a separate 'Orchid Picture' file, one for paph, phrag, vanda,....... with the date listed under the plant name. I like your idea but I would lose the file with all my paph, phrag, vanda.....pictures together.

    I'm going to try your method with just a few plants, without deleting my other method, should I change my mind. I'm always open to try new methods.

    Very pretty. The petals and sepals remind me of Zyg John Banks, but I believe the lip on John Banks is more of a reddish violet...
