What I want to know is who made up these names? Who are these honorees?
In the past the person making the cross got the honor of the name. Mr.
Ota got to be Otaara becasue he put a Broughtonia on a Blc first. Who the
heck is Thwaits and why does he get to be a new name? Who is Peetse that
he gets to be the new Rhylc?

I was wondering if this was all some scheme to reward patrons of the RHS,
actually. I propose we give all nothogenera a number. Thwaiteseara could
be C00235-A2007. That is almost as easy to remember, right? *grin*

I Like it!

And I'll bet they ARE rewarding patrons.
