Finally I picked up my first Medinilla magnifica

Taxonomists. I don't understand half of what they are saying .

[WolfinKW]

speaking with/about taxonomists is very taxing...

[Gin]

They give me a headache . I learn how to spell a name and it is changed , and all the iiiiis and eeees they hang onto to them make me Gin

[WolfinKW]

iiis and eeees are just to make them sound latinish

Sorta like this
Phal Kei Westii var Wolfii

Which sounds all official doesn't it... LOL

But I read somewhere that once you get so far down into crossing and interbreeding you aren't allowed to use true latin anymore for the names and grex names so they try to make it sound latinish.

I love it Wolf, if I ever get a new breed to name, that's going to be second on the list, right after "Lois Suprock" (my mom). But I'd like to name a Catt for her.... So you get the Phal!! Mmmmm let's see, then if I name one for mom it would be C. Loisii Suprockanium???

[WolfinKW]

very cool name Diane.

[Gin]

Phalarottimus Stingii Gingii ? a cross between a Macodes and a Phal.
