I'm shocked that someone would get his knickers in a twist because a seedling wasn't going to be registered... And to destroy it?! Tsk! I don't think I'd care if a seeding was going to be registered- like you, if it suited my hybridizing plans, I'd be thrilled to have it...
It is a cold morning so I am catching up on some posts.
A couple of good speakers who bring plants are Scott Elliott and Paul Owens.
Interesting to hear that you like it even if seedlings are offered since we are looking at what to do this spring.
My son, Ashton and myself are invited to speak at 2 clubs this year and we are concerned that we only have a few introductions and limited stock due to selling and donating during our summer regional in 2017. We will have some 2018's but not sure about our inventory since they don't multiply around here like many other places. We do grow thousands of seedlings in all colors shapes and sizes and could offer some of them. We have done presentations in the past and gave seedlings in drawings and offered a few plants for auction. We have also taken daylily seeds as give away for those interested in tying to grow their own seedlings.
