I'm all for enticing people into growing orchids (I encourage people to grow orchids every chance I get) and doing a little marketing (one of my previous jobs was as a marketing officer), but it is possible to entice and market while supplying accurate information and preventing confusion further down the road. It wouldn't have compromised the enticing quality of the clip to have started out by saying somethign like, "There are many kinds of orchids, but today we're looking at one of the most popular, Phalaenopsis." It's great to bring new hobbiests into the fold, but lets start them off on the right foot instead of confusing them.
