I would have to disagree with you. We are fortunate that the RHS is the official registrar for orchid hybrids worldwide. If we had each country register orchids there would be many duplicate names for the same hybrid. Keep in mind that there are hundred's of thousands hybrids that have already been registered.
For the USA, the fee is $12.50 which i don't think is too much for a breeder to pay.
I just registered 4 crosses, 2 of my own and 2 for a friend that i received AOS awards for.
My 2 cents....
