zuerose,

Stick a tag in the pot that says Encyclia tampensis so the person who grows it on after you or who gets a piece of it later knows exactly what it is. i prefer the scientific names (Encyclia tampensis) to the common names (Butterfly Orchid) because common names are not standard. The same common name can be used for many different plants and one plant can have more than one common name whereas every orchid has its own unique scientific name. It's perfectly fine to call it a Butterfly Orchid, no orchid police will come knocking on your door for doing that but stick a tag that says Encyclia tampensis in the basket anyway.

Happy Growing!
