Just saw your new article, well done, its my first day as a member as well! But I have a question, what makes the Cypripedium kentuckienese different than a lady slipper orchid? Because the first line states that they are the same thing. If they are the same thing, you should make the cypripedium page a redirect to the lady slipper page.

I think responding there is appropriate... I'm as unsure as you are, :), but it did give me a new message notification. I am in no way an orchid expert, but I had a feeling that it was the family that the flower pertained to. The wording of * orchid is a lady slipper orchid threw me off, it implies that that is the scientific name for the lady slipper orchid, like making two articles, one for Anopheles gambiae and one for mosquito.
