    Louis,

    As far as I can figure, Maudiae is the Latinese for Maud, which is short for the German name Matilda. If Maud was your mother, than the shoe fits (or the slipper fits, as it were.) I was only commenting on the strong family resemblance.

    I've never been told I look like an orchid bloom before. Thanks!
