Apparently, I'm trying to overwhelm the system.
'Hopewell Grenadier' is a Winterberry Holly with the known parentage of (
Ilex serrata x Ilex verticillata 'Sparkleberry') x
Ilex serrata. This proposal is being rejected when I submit it. Maybe there is a way to enter this among the genus and the species lines that I'm doing improperly.
The Winterberry Holly entries for 'Apollo', 'Autumn Glow', 'Bonfire', and 'Harvest Red' (
Ilex serrata x Ilex verticillata, in the genus line) have been altered without incident.
Winterberry Holly (Ilex 'Apollo')
Winterberry Holly (Ilex 'Autumn Glow')
Winterberry Holly (Ilex 'Bonfire')
Winterberry Holly (Ilex 'Harvest Red')
There are going to be many more Holly selections that have complex parentage like this - as will there be Viburnums. If I am "barking" up the wrong tree to try to enter this information under the botanical name, then I'll cease and desist. If this kind of listing of all the crossings overwhelms the system, then showing this information in the comment section will be the next best place.
If there is a good way to include this information in the Latin name portion of the entry, I would like to do so. It is extremely helpful to less knowledgeable gardeners to understand the relationship between these hybrids of complex parentage, and the species of which they are composed and to which they are related. This is very important in knowing about pollination among the dioecious plants of
Ilex and the self-incompatible
Viburnum which require cross-pollination.
