-although Eric Christenson proposed eliminating the genus Doritis and moving all members into Phalaenopsis (section Esmerelda), the RHS has not accepted that revision, so the genus remains Doritis
-most of the recently awarded flowers of Dor. pulcherrima range in size (natural spread) from 3.0-4.0 cm
Good growing
Very interesting stuff...and as mine is not peloric I can drop the longest part of the name. Unfortunately as I have nicknamed it 'Champ'. lol Much shorter and easier to pronounce! Thanks though...I find the little diffences interesting too.
