[edit] Astra serpent plant

Apparent hoax. No Google hits for "Astra serpent plant" or the binomial "Phalaenopsis sirtalis" (which seems to have been constructed by combining the genus name of an orchid with the species name of the common garter snake). If this plant were real, there would be material about it all over the Web. Deor (talk) 21:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
