Er...a...Todd, Bruce wasn't suggesting that you...er...needed to read the post. I think he thought you might just find it entertaining...

Actually I already posted a similar explanation on another garden forum as people are always getting confused between what is a grex vs. a clone. The company where I got the Goodaleara called it a Beallara and I simply didn't question it. Now I will have to check the rest on the RHS site!

It was probably registered as a Beallara initially. Taxonomists have recently moved a number of Odontoglossum and Miltonia species into Oncidium, if your hybrid had one of them in it's background then it would become a Goodaleara.

Very good point, Tony! I hadn't thought of that. I bet you're right!

Ah yes, one of the Miltonias was changed to Oncidium, hence Colmanara Wildcat became an Odontocidium. If that Miltonia was in my Dancing Matador (and I think it is), then it would indeed become a Goodaleara.

I just acquired my 1st Beallara a couple of weeks ago. Yours is a beauty! to think I didn't even know they existed, now I'm hooked! Judi

Oh wow! That's gorgeous!

I love the patterns on the coloration!
