•  Support It is a lovely and delicate photograph, with beautiful colours. The green background adds value to the flowers and the centered composition gives importance to the main sublject. Compliments!Paolobon140 (talk) 10:12, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

•  On hold  Comment I've got a strong suspicion that this should be Dunkle Blüte, which would mean "dark flower" in German. "Dunklu" doesn't mean anything in German, and the Google translator suggests that the same is true for Slovenian. There are also zero search results for "dunklu Zygopetalum" outside of Commons. So I'm pretty certain that if "Dunklu" was indeed written on a sign in the Ljubljana Botanical Gardens, it was not more than a typo. Adding to that, "Zygopetalum "dunkle blüte"" also yields next to no results. So I think "dunkle Blüte" is just a description rather than an official name of a variety or cultivar (see en:Grex (horticulture) for naming of orchid hybrids) and should probably just be translated to "dark flower". I'm not an expert for orchids, though, maybe User:Orchi can help? I'll postpone voting until this is cleared up. --El Grafo (talk) 12:49, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

• Thanx El Grafo, was in problem to get some of Dunklu shots, they even write it on two signs, both Dunklu. I dont speak Gemran much, first i thought this must be Dutch. I will change the name. --Mile (talk) 13:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

• The name Dunkle Blüte does not appear in the International Orchid Register, so it is not an official name for an orchid grex. On the other hand the literal translation does not fit either, since it is anything but dark. It might be better to just call it Zygopetalum (which it appears to be), place it in "uncategorised" with a note as to how it is labelled. I have suggested before, since they are a local, that the photographer make inquiries of the garden horticultural staff. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 19:01, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

• The orchids at the University Botanical Garden are housed in the Tivoli Greenhouse, and an annual orchid show is held in April in conjunction with Ocean Orchids and the Orchid Society. It might also be worth checking with them. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 19:55, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
