I'm sorry, but this is simply incorrect. Anyone who crosses 2 orchids which have never been crossed before may register their cross (when it blooms) with the RHS. It's a simple as filling out a form, providing a pic, and I believe paying a small fee.
It is not necessary to have a picture or the plants pedigree or "a whole lot of other things" published in a book. A quick look at the RHS website and form for registering orchid hybrids will tell anyone this.
Can we please get in the habit of checking our facts before posting information?
