    Thanks, not sure how to use OrchidWiz...I don't even know where it is. Gonna search for Mr Hetherington.

    Hi Edward, I did a search on OrchidWiz and found 8 articles on cymbidium breeding, as well as 3 in Orchid Digest (the 3 in orchid digest are all by Ernest Hetherington). Maybe you have access to back issues either online or in a collection. There also are Cymbidium Societies listed on this site. They are in California and Australia. Good luck!

      The 8 articles are in AOS magazines.
