Betty,
I do hybridize, and have over 2000 seedlings expected this time, so I know perfectly well
how much work is involved. If I were doing it for the hourly wage, I would have gone
bankrupt years ago. I give away truckloads of plants every year- absolutely free!
As for his prices, I looked back several years and saw that most were still way above what
I would expect to pay even for a newer release, and the majority were not what I would
consider cutting edge. Average at best. I toss a good many that are far nicer.
