Google didn't yield much information. Any ideas?

My only objection is with the newer species. For example, of the 8 currently registered helenae primaries, 6 of them start with Wossner. He was one of the first to illegally obtain the species, so he's the first to bloom many of the hybrids. This is unfair to breeders who would like to play by the rules, however absurd they may find them.

I think everyone in the thread realizes that Mr. Glanz is free to name his hybrids whatever he wants. However, we are still free to discuss them.slippertalker said:This discussion is pretty much a tempest in a teapot. If you make a cross you can name it anything you want, and Mr. Glanz has done so for his own reasons. Just as irritating to some of you are the "Brother" phalaenopsis, and "Acker's" phrags and many more. Just deal with it, and move on......
Crosses are named after places, things, people, cats, dogs, and every other noun or adjective you can think of......
