Plant Tag Abbreviations

Hybrid Crosses
Danny Lutz of the Atlanta Orchid Society has written an excellent article on Finding Orchid Hybrid Information on the RHS Web Site. If you would like to know the parentage of your hybrid, you can search the International Orchid Register by doing a parentage search to identify a grex from any particular seed and pollen parent combination. You can also do a grex name search to find the parentage of a particular grex.

Orchid Name Pronunciation
Norman's Orchids has a listing of how to pronounce genera names. We'd like to find one for species names. If you run across one, please send us the link.
