Thinking about hybridizing - not from a very scientific point of view - I bear the humble title of "pollen dauber".
But, using the old cliche "...But I do know what I like" I thought I'd check what I really do like, in the database.
The search engine has a category that lets you select by color, form, and also by hybridizer. After checking just "hybridizer", and entering a name (It's "Joseph" not "Joe" Ghio, Smiling ) then scrolling down, check the "just show ones in my plant list" and the number of plants you have of that hybridizer comes up! After awhile you can often recognize the qualities that individual hybridists have developed.
The database is such a great tool. (It told me that I have 125 Blyths - although I have to check to see if any of the "wants" were included! ).
