    Too funny! Love the last two. One name that comes to mind and I don't know how they got away with it is the cymbidium "Little Black Sambo"--talk about being politically incorrect. Am by the pool now and will try to think of others. Fun thread!

    I saw a listing a couple years ago for "One Confused Cat" and it stuck in my head. Wish there had been a picture.

    Most of the crazy orchid names seem so strange to me. I would never want a Bulbo Doggy Doo. Someone was really being silly with that one.

    cheers,
