Re: amorpho titanium pollen !!!

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2001.06.21 at 16:03:50(6794) Errrr, I guess my message to Ron (just posted), sort of may be a shock to some...... I'll be liberal about this (after all I AM from Holland): I think people may hybridise whatever they want. What we should avoid, is that such hybrids go unnoticed into cultivation. They should be properly identifibale by a cultivar name (there is an antire nomenclature code for cultivated plants dedicated to this issue). On the other hand, we may not want to name every individual plant that is a one-time result of a hybridisation..... This is actually a problematic issue, I must admit. In commercial perennial breeding, breeders sometimes adhere to to those "interesting" looking botanical names of their hybrids, suggesting it still IS that species, instead of discarding of the species name and adding a cultivar name. THAT is the wrong attitude and blurs the borderline between interest in wild plants and interest in "nice looking plants of whatever origin".
