All,
Remember that contest I posted a new name for our society newsletter?
You all posted some neat names. The most unique, I think, and my personal
favorite, was Mick's contribution of Orchidelphia. Anyway, I sent the
names
out to a small group of members and asked for opinions, without stating
my
own preferences. And, I added a couple that were not suggested here, as I
said I would.
Only one person understood Orchidelphia without an explanation. These
were
bright people, and if they didn't *get it* I can only imagine the
reaction
of our octogenarians. Orchidophile got attention, while orchidophilia
sounded to some like a criminal activity, LOL!
One of the names I added came from this group by accident. It was
Orchidelirium, and it was included in an article about orchid boarding
posted by Reka. I think that's going to be the new name.
Still, for effort and originality, Mick is getting the cookies. Thought
you'd like to know!
