Been working my way thru that Data Center, with plenty yet to go. Lots of good info there, plenty of things I have not seen else where. However, the author makes the same mistake that many others make, he/she fails to standard the words used to describe the cultural requirements, and half the time we really don't know exactly what is meant. I chastised Lance Birk for doing that in his Paphiopedilum book. He used so many different ways of describing the light requirements, that in the end, I didn't have the foggiest idea what the light requirements were for any of the Paphs he was describing. He told me that originally he had the requirements listed as footcandles, but decided that was too complex, so instead, we have almost nothing inteligible.
