Because it took me a fair bit of searching to find it, here is the info copied from the MAOC site:
ORCHID NAMES: A PRONUNCIATION GUIDE CD If you have been a society member within the MAOC for any length of time you may remember when the audio tapes of Gerda Ferrington's invaluable orchid pronunciation guide sold out. Gerda narrated the pronunciation guide as one of a series of audio tapes for the MAOC and it was the one which went 'platinum' so to speak. Now thanks to Dr. James Harper, chair of the Education and Research Committee, and Alvin May, former chair of the Cincinnati Judging Center, Gerda's words are once again heard, this time on a CD. The CD is a remastered version of Gerda's tape so those quaint pops and crackles are gone and instead, you'll hear, with striking clarity, the proper way to pronounce all those multi-syllabic orchids names that many of us stumble over. Copies of the CD will be on sale at the Spring 2006 Mid-America Orchid Congress in Omaha for $ 10.00. If you don't want to wait, copies of the CD, "Orchid Names: A Pronunciation Guide" are available directly from the MAOC. The price is $10 plus $3 s/h, by check payable to the MAOC.
