K - In case you do need to go to the RHS site in future (e.g, for things
too new to be in your latest update of Orchidwiz) -- just leave the genus
field blank. Much easier that way, although it will sometimes get you some
"extraneous" hits. I'd rather get extra than miss the right one, and it's
usually easy to sort them out [the exception being when the same grex name
has been to, say, a C. and a Blc. or Lc. -- a practice that I don't think
should be permitted, but apparently it is]. Kenni

2) You could search the RHS database. (The RHS database is a pain in the
neck because one has to spell out the genus, and I can never rememeber if
its sophrolaeliocattleya or sophrolaeliacattleya. I never know whether
there really *are* no results or if I misspelled the genus...)

Thanks Kenni! One of these days I'll tell you the story about tracking
down parentage for Odm. Rawdon Jester. Turns out another fellow and I
were both using the RHS database & getting completely different results.
We also both complained to Julian Shaw about it (unbeknownst to each
other.) Shaw must have thought we were crazy.
