So Peach is now Amaretto?

I saw that Stephen Roylance is starting to call Hypo Lavender Caramels, "Amaretto"s. When I saw this, I thought that the term "Peach" had been decided on. At least I had seen it in many places, but (for me) most importantly Ians Vivarium. But when I went over there, it had been removed. So what happened? Amaretto? Peach? Amberder? Huh......

Movin' to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Peaches come from a can they were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way I'd eat peaches everyday
Sun soakin bulges in the shade

Movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
I'm movin to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches

I took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you woman
I poked my finger down inside makin' a little room for a ant to hide
Nature's candy in my hand or can or a pie

Millions of peaches peaches for me
Millions of peaches peaches for free
Millions of peaches peaches for me
Millions of peaches peaches for free

Look out

Millions of peaches peaches for me
Millions of peaches peaches for free
Millions of peaches peaches for me
Millions of peaches peaches for free

Look out

Whatever you want to call it. I'll be using Amber Lavender for mine...

Same here. THANK YOU!
I hate to be the one saying this, but I *extremely* dislike all of these names: Moonstone, Amberder, Amaretto, Shatter....
If it has been called Peach, and has been decided on, it should remain Peach.
As a general rule, the person who *first* comes up with the morph should name it and if they haven't done so, then should be contacted before names are decided on or changed.
Sorry to open that can of worms but it's starting to get ridiculous.
 
Did a little research and it seems that the "peach" mystery line corns produced by Rich Hume are NOT amber lavenders. The exact reason for their coloration and their full genetics is still unknown and may simply be selective/line breeding so they can still be called "peach" corns while hypo caramel lavenders can be called "amaretto" corns.

And it seems it was Vinman and a vote by the CS.com members that made the "peach" name official for his and Rich's stock:

He's my issue; Amaretto does not look anything like those snakes. At least give me a clue to the genetics involved. Lots of the corn "trade names" have that problem.

Amaretto? No idea what's in it.
Amberder? Amber Lav, but you sound like a goob.
Carender? Is that a care bear with gimp?
Avalanche? Snow I'm guessing, but what else? Oh blood red, well that's morbid. Snow + Blood x ski resort = Bloody Snow, hence Avalanche? I fail to see the logic.

To each his own in the end, but I think changing morph names just because they sound better to you, needs to get roped in.
 
I just started a thread on my fb page similar to this topic but mine is on calling my hypo ashy stripes as "hypashy stripes" ;)
 
Woah now. Hold up there, kids. I think that before anyone names any cinder/ashy/Z combos, we should first DECIDE ON CINDER/ASHY/z. That makes sense, right?
 
I'll chime in, I like names that I can tell what the morph is better than "pretty word names" too, I like hypo lav, anery lav, caramel lav, sunkissed lav etc much better than the alternative stuff, moonstone orchid and what have you. I don't really care what other people use but I try and put the morph name on my delis: Anery bloodred, Hypo cinder, etc. That way I don't have to look up what it is if I'm buying or explain what it is if I'm selling.
I do think it is a courtesy to let the "first ever" breeder name the morph, but if they pick a name that people don't like it usually doesn't stick. If you are really into a certain morph you will learn the trade names, but if you don't "follow the trends" it can get confusing.
 
Who bred the first Hypo Caramel Lavs? Rich Hume? Vinny? Rich Z? Carol? Stephen? :shrugs: The combo is about 6 years old...
 
I also call them Cinders.
Is that what Carol named them, or did she call them Ashy. I believe she's the one that first discovered the gene, although my memory could be wrong there.

I believe it could be because of what an Avalanche does to the side of a mountain, wiping it clean. Doesn't bloodred do the same thing to corns, good diffusion=clean sides?


On the Hypo Cinders... I like Hynder....LOL, but that could also work for Hypo Lavender...

I thought I read somewhere that Rich Z had them and called them Ashy.... Not sure where I found that little bit of info, so I could just be making it up...

Yes, I remember that ashy was Rich Z's name after the ashy gecko.
I always prefered cinder myself.
