Orchid name registration with the RHS is voluntary. There is really nothing
but pressure from orchid collectors to stop a proliferation of unregistered
names. There are a lot of them out there, mericlones of very nice plants
from exotic locations whose parentage can not be traced.
When my few plants have been awarded by the AOS, I got a receipt in the mail
from the judging location with all the specs and a bill for $40.00. If I
chose not to pay the bill, I still have the carbon of the award spec to
prove my orchid was deemed awardable, using my provisional name. Even if I
never pay to register the hybrid or pay the award registration fee I can
still call my plant what I want and say it was deemed awardable by AOS
judges and I chose not to pay for the privilege of making it "official". I
have my carbon as proof even if the AOS and RHS react negatively. Yes,
Civilization as we know it is ending because of this problem. If the world
only knew the true reason why. Of course I do pay whatever they ask because
I like the feel of parchment and the nifty little kodachrome slide I
get....and because I want to be liked and recognized by important members of
the orchid growing community. I really really do, but then I am weird that
way.

Thanks for the info, Al. Once again we see the downfall of western
civilazation as we know it. How 2 well known orchid vendors could sell
much
less hybridize with unregistered orchid *and put that on their tag!* is
beyond me. Just too lazy to write it right, I guess.
I went through my AQs and there isn't an AM from the AOS published yet.
Granted it could still be in the works, but the award would still be
provisional until the name Netrasiri Waxy was registered. Now, if somone
wanted to teach these idiots a lesson, they could pony up the $7 bucks for
the RHS and name the cross themselves since the owners haven't done so. I
suggest Lc. K Barrett. Then the award would HAVE to read Lc K Barrett
'Jairung' AM/AOS and the breeding program would HAVE to list Lc. K Barrett
as a parent. Neener neener to Netrasiri. They lose out!

An unregistered hybrid would NOT have the name
CATTLEYA NETRASIRI WAXY `Jairug` AM,
it WOULD have the parentage listed in parentheses. This vendor fails
orchid
name reading/writing 101. I don't think he/she even opened the book once
during the semester. I bet the instructor can not even remember seeing
them
in class.
Kultana orchids is selling hybrids made using C. Netrasiri Waxy as a
parent,
as are a few others, according to the internet.
Tropic 1 Orchids is selling Lc. Netrasiri Waxy 'Jairug' [Lc. Netrasiri
Doll
x C. Netrasiri Fireball]. There are discrepancies here and I think this
will be a question on the next exam.
C. Chocolate Drop is a grandparent from both sides in the Tropic 1 Lc.
hybrid making it more likely to be the correct parentage of a hybrid that
my
Wildcatt Feb 2005 update says is unregistered.
You just want to know if it is hard to grow. If you are able to bloom
and
flower the average cattleya hybrid, then you can probably bring this
plant
into bloom. If this is the parentage a nice select clone will probably
ultimately reach about 2 feet tall and have large clusters of these
flowers.
It is pretty.

Here`s the answer from the vendor:
Hi
Sorry we do not have the parentage of this hybrid as it is an
unregistered
hybrid.
Thanks
So, to all Catt growers, this one should not be very hard to grow? I`m
totally new to this species !
Thanks again
