KentPfeiffer said:For the cultivars with complex and/or interspecies parentages, it might be cleaner to simply list Ilex (or Viburnum) as the Botanical Name and then ask Dave to add a field for "Parentage" or something like that in the data details area.


This is the right approach.

We also do this with daylilies - we have a Parentage data field and all the parents are listed there. We can add this kind of field for any kind of plant. Maybe we should have it added to the Primary Plant Details area so that it becomes available to ALL plants...
