Hey y’all!
Question, since this is probably my next purchase, is Miss Pamela Hetherington the artist google finds or is there any other meaning behind that name?
Thanks!

Pamela is the infamous Ernest Hetherington's daughter. Mr. Hetherington was the owner of Stewart Orchids and is considered one of the great hybridizers of the 20th Century. |

Isurus79 has it right... Ernest Hetherington's daughter. Registered by Stewart's in 1970, so a classic. Found a reference to her as his daughter, being a physician on the east coast in an obituary for Ernest, but the connection was definitely "family" when the hybrid got named.

Is that Rlc. Pamela Hetherington (in the opening post) a named cultivar? (Such as 'Coronation').
Looks like online sources are indicating that Rlc. Pamela Hetherington made it out to Australia and New Zealand, which is excellent.
