Well I sorta like that... There's a noir story in there somewhere....

"Hot. It was bloody hot" Carruthers thought, lighting a cigarette. "Damn
tropics." The air didn't move despite of the thudding ceiling fans. The
bargirl entered from behind a bead curtain, a chongsam wrapped her every
curve, eyes silently sizing him up. She brought his beverage, moisture
beading on the tall slim glass.

"Thanks, baby." Carruthers said, tossing a few coins on the tray which
earned him a shy Pecochan's smile. A promise of things to come? Carruther's
turned the possibility over in his mind like a semiprecious stone, then
discarded it. "Not bloody likely." He remembered his last date with a bar
girl. Two weeks later the inability to Pee. Vietnam Cocktail's always ended
with recriminations and a dripping case of Rhynaelionitis

Dear Friends,

Allow a little bit of humor after spending the last few days being
hammered by angry customers who oppose name changes completely outside my
control.

Do you suffer from Rhynaelionitis (Rln.)?

That is one of the new genera = Laelia x Rhybcholaelia x Sophronitis

There are now many new genera, including some with funny abbreviations.
For example, the new genus Peetersara = Broughtonia x Cattleya x
Rhyncholaelia x Sophronitis. It is named for a Belgian nurseryman,
Augustin Andre Peeters, who died in 1920.

Mr. Peeters may be worthy of the honor, but probably would not approve of
the abbreviation assigned to him: "Pee." This resulted in some funny
hybrid names such as Pee. Vietnam Cocktail. With a name like that, who
wouldn't buy one?

Here's another one: "Shy." It stands for Sophroprosleya = Cattleya x
Prosthechea x Sophronitis. As a result there is now an orchid named Shy.
Pecochan's Smile.

For those of you who are hybridizers out there, may I propose some new
names? How about Pee. Like a Horse? Or perhaps Shy. But not Frigid. How
about Try. Harder?

Best wishes,

Alex
