Re: [SG] Just bought a plant

<<    Don't mean to start this round table again but here is the
 importance of scientific name versus common name. You call your plant a
 Yellow ladys' slipper but give the scientific name Cypripedium
 parviflorum pubescens. AHS A-Z calls their Yellow lady's slipper a
 Cypripedium calceolus.

     Are we talking about the same plant? >>
Hi Tim,
  I don't believe it is the same plant. I have gotten info on the pubescens
as well as the calceolus.The pubescens prefers a more acidic soil. In a
case like this I can see why it is so important to have the scientific
name.
              Thanks,
