Ok, I know I'm all over this board today, but I have a day off, so I'm playing. My question is really about terminology and how to interpret it.

First, if a seller says their orchid is blooming size...what does that mean specifically? Does it mean it has bloomed before? or that there are a certain number of pseudobulbs present? or what?

Second, if a seller says that their orchid is specimen size...what does that mean exactly? I assume it means that it could be broken up into smaller plants, or maybe used in a hybrid...but those are just guesses. What size typically connotes specimen size?

Third, I understand what a pseudobulb is, but I don't quite get what a "lead" is. Is this the growth that will become a pseudobulb? How do you distinguish the two.

Hope this isn't too elementary. Thansk for your help
