Just a bit of rambling on a hot summer night...

I have a heck of a time pronouncing Latin names properly, and just had to say 'Kudos' to the American Orchid Society for making orchid names easy to pronounce. If in doubt, I go to their website to see (and/or hear) how those big (unfamiliar words to me) sound, or how they should be spoken. It's definitely got me beyond just using the short-well-known names, like Catt, Paph & Pal.

Example:
Rhyncholaelia
I used to say rhino instead of "rink-oh". Has definitely helped me out.
