Mario, to put in my 2 cents worth. I think your financial calculations are
wrong. Just ask all the Commercial growers ( & exporters ) of the Sophronitis,
Cattleya etc family. Tens of thousands ( millions )of these plants are grown
and sold around the world each year. To be correct under the new clasifications
now operating and those proposed, each plant will have to be RE-named with the
correct Grex and abbreviations. This will involve the searching for the new
grex name through the RHS registry for every crossing in stock. This will also
be required for re labelling of all the species involved, this also for all the
other genera re-clasified. If this is not done then in some countries,
authorities will not allow the plants to be exported, period. Of course, there
is the time and man power required to do this research, organising the labels
and then placing the labels in the pots. Then the minor, hahaha, task of
updating stock systems, files, websites,
catalogs etc, etc, etc to reflect these changes. Then its all out work to
explain to their clients what the new names mean and that nothing has changed
as far as the plants go, just the names. All because a few people with nothing
better to do decided to stuff up a system that has been working well for the
last 100+ years.
