Re: Cymbidium -Dave

Actually, zone info isn't that important for what I work on. I'm

Unfortunately true, but.... The nomenclature is basically a download  
from GRIN, as I understand it. Since there's not much to be gained from  
reporting a plant grows in your zip code when it does not, I tend to  
trust those reports until they are proven untrue. And, I might add,  
those zip code reports are a lot closer to reality than the zones  
listed in A2Z.
