| Wow, ouch. Well i can see that I am wrong for liking the pretty name, so I am taking it off. I would like to explain that I was just teasing Anton, and defending my position nicely, at least I thought. When Fred pointed out the banners I did it for fun. I can think of many things that are more unappealing than names in color. I was here because I felt welcome, to learn about orchids, and to make friends. I now realize that I misjudged, I will correct my behavior, and in the future, I will just stick to orchids. Thanks for the lesson about this forum. I don't want to pm you, and I hope my post was polite enough.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
