Connie, who does the Lily register? This time I'll bookmark it.
I'm honestly not sure what to think of the duplicate names, "unregistered" plants and minor tweaks to existing cvs. I don't have the experience to know or appreciate the historical context of all this. If Lilies are like Iris, orchids or daffodils then there is a generally accepted registering mechanism and authority. But as long as the Dutch decide to go there own way and in the case of JI, the Japanese are an independent authority in there own right, this will always happen and get worse as time goes by. I also appreciate retailers wanting something new to sell even when it's not improved. What I really appreciate though is the hybridizers like you folks who seem to be motivated by the genuine improvement of cvs. and not just by the flash of the great photo op. Thanks.
