20091025. Went to an orchid show called the Ochidfête. It's organised by the Eastern Canada Orchid Society, a south shore of Montreal based group. They only have about 100 members and that shows by the size of the ...exhibit, contained in only 2 small rooms. A much smaller exhibit than the yearly orchid show I saw at the De Maisonneuve college last spring, the Montreal Orchidexpo.
Here's a sample of what I saw. It was on the table of the exhibitor called J & L Orchids. We've all seen the flamboyant orchids of wedding bouquets, but what I'm looking out for are the tiny ones. This one caught my attention. It looked like something related to Liparis. It's called here Crepdidium miczyslawi. But I wonder about that. Nether the genus name nor the specie name show up on Google. I get zero hits. Nada. None at all... Nothing... and that usually means that the the genus and/or specie names are spelled wrong. Usually Google suggests spelling corrections but in this case nothing. So it must be spelled terribly wrong! Well, not that wrong after all. I've checked in my favorite reference book on genus names, the Dalla Torr & Harms, and I found a similar name, the Crepidium, placed under Microstylis, a genus related to Liparis just as I thought. Looking up images of Crepidium on Google brings up pics of a plant very similar to the one here. So that must be it! Now, the specie name got me zero hits on Google, but they did suggest me an alternate spelling, but one that was useless to me. So looking up on IPNI, I found a similar name: Crepidium mieczyslawii. So that's it also! Two for two! This specie name gets me only five hits on Google! No wonder I had trouble finding it's proper name! Funny thing about Google: it does not show the IPNI page about this plant, not even in Google Scholar.
See the rest of the pics of the Orchidfête that I kept HERE and HERE.
