stewart orchid seedlings

[DeAnne]

5 years ago I purchased 15 unflowered seedling catts from the now defunct Stewart orchids. They are now blooming well,and some are very nice.
After doing some searches on the RHS site and orchid wiz,none of these seem to be registered. Is it possible for me to register and name these? What is the corect thing to do? Of course I am not the breeder,but have only grown them to mature blooming plants.
Thank you in advance for any help,DeAnne

Yes you can register them. You need to first attempt to contact the originator for permission. If you cannot find the originator, you would register it as originator unknown.
You can download the form from the RHS site. I think the fee is still $10.00 per registration.

thank's for the help. Stewart orchids is gone, and I have no idea who I might contact. these orchids were made by them,but apparently not registered before they went bankrupt.

DeAnne, the last owner of Stewarts was Steve McNerney.

I have PM'd you with his contact info.
thanks,
Peter.

De Anne, can you tell how you cared for the orchid seedlings you got? I will be receiving some soon and I don't want to kill them. Thanks.
