Default Do you suffer from Rhynaelionitis? Wordaholics!

Funny play on words Alex, love the humour & by reading between the words, I
can tell
that you had nothing but sex on your mind! *G*
Here are my names:- Pee. Green,
Shy. With Envy
Try. Me to the moon.

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
