The Catasetum Rebecca Northen is a cute little thing, well worth your pennies to pick one up. Small, pink. It is actually Clowesia, now that they've split that genus off (confused yet?). The Catanoches (catasetum x cycnoches) Rebecca Northen is now Clowenoches (clowesia x cycnoches) Rebecca Northen. It is ok, I guess, but for my money I'd go with Clowesia Rebecca Northen. Rob's new rule: Don't give two closely related hybrids the same name, regardless of how much you like the honoree. It is just too darn confusing. There is a Paph. Rebecca Tyson Northen (concolor x purpuratum). That is all I found using Wildcatt, but that doesn't mean there aren't more. Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit 4) LittlefrogFarm kinda/sorta/somewhat open for business - e-mail me for a list ) |

I could not believe it when I started running the Wildcatt check. I wonder how many of the Rebecca's are for her and they only used the first name. She was a gem.

I know there's a Dendrob also. Won an award at the 2003 EOC.
Thanks Rob. There have got to be a lot more hybrids out there for this fine lady. Maybe now in memoriam.
