Hybrid Orchid registration and clonal names

[Orchid Whisperer]

You are correct Ray, my analogy is not exactly perfect. I was just trying to use a concept that most of us are familiar with; we don't name children in exactly the same way that we name orchids, so while missing the point, I was trying to get as close to the target as possible with a familiar explanation.

Fairorchids, thanks for the clarification that only AOS awarded clones are officially
registered or recorded.
