Some zoas, most notably utter chaos, can morph widely. In other cases wild collected stuff can land with different vendors and that's why you have three names ( 1) flaming brohicans, 2) reverse hallucinations 3) sticker shocks) for the exact same strain. In other cases you have names being recycled due to the name recognition, in this way we have the krakatoa name sticking around even though the OG strain is long gone (and likely never to be seen again). Then, finally, you have many strains that are nearly identical save for minor differences. To what end a superficial difference necessitates a new name? That's an unending debate. Fact is we don't need 50 different names for fire and ice... anything more exact is splitting hairs and unlikely to be widely recognized - the real litmus test of a 'named zoa.'
Now that I’m getting more into this Zoa side it just makes me love them more and wild how everything changes from person to person it’s like whisper down the lane but with zoas lol!
