All,
If you go to the RHS web site they have the most recent orchid hybrid list
up. In it they tell who the new nothogenera are named for. (as well as
the abbrevaitions..)

Excellent, Wendy! Now I will need to think of some. Good way to extend
the thread.

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
