\"Below the photos is the full name including family.\" I am confused. I do not see anything written below the photos.
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/277101/ In fact the only name I see is above the photo and the genus and species is not even anywhere on that page. It states as the only name \"Tall Bearded Iris \'Champagne Elegance\'\" and I am sure that is not its real name. In fact I am almost 100%sure no one ever has called that iris \"Tall Bearded Iris \'Champagne Elegance.\'

\"That is the correct order, although we can argue\" Again I am confused, what is the correct order? Having the common name be before the cultivar name? Correct order according to whom?

I do not remember the names being like this before the changes. The fact remains the way it is now is incorrect. Even if it was incorrect before that does not make it correct now. LOL.

The reason I am almost 100% sure it was not like this before, is the reason Mike (Growin) mentioned in his post.( http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=10194543 ) I too now notice what a pain it is to copy a cultivar name to google it. Before I never had to copy first the genus and species name to an blank email, then go up and copy the cultivar name to paste in the blank email so then I can copy them both together to google or do whatever.

But I do not want it changed because of my inconvenience, I want it changed because it is incorrect!
