Talk:Orchid (color)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A few days ago, I went through here and corrected the improper capitalization and italicization of the orchid species names. It appears that someone has undone this for no apparent reason while rearranging the page. As I don't want to have to keep redoing this every time someone does a copy/paste while updating this page, I would like to point out that the latin name of a species should always be italicised, and the genus name should be capitalized. So, for example, "laelia furfuracea" should become "Laelia furfuracea". Please try to avoid accidentally deleting this formatting in future updates to this page, as it looks quite unprofessional when such a simple error is left on the page.
