Natalie...I am 99.99% sure that once the seedling is in someone else's hands you have every right to introduce and /or register it as you wish, unless there has been some contract/agreement made. I am 100% sure of that with seeds...once they are in your hands they are yours. As to the seedling, some have put their name and the hybridizer's name on the registration form..but I think that needs an agreement also.
Juli..thanks for the suggestion to start another thread about my intros...how do I go about it and can I use a copy of what I had already written?
Bobbi...I hope I have corrected the sliDe show now so you can see each pic..if you go down to the thumbnails you click on one and it gets larger and then a manual slide show comes up. Thanks for the suggestion of where-and/or who I am..it is hidden way down on the red bar..I will re-write it on the intros page...never thought of it!
about the numbers....it is a reference to numbers in the Bible..Like the number of man is '6'...the number of completion or perfection is '7' and the number of '8' is new beginnings, etc ...some scholars over the years have observed and written about them. ..here is a link about the Biblical meaning of the number seven..http://www.biblewheel.com/Topics/Seven_Meaning.php it's very interesting!
Ed I like what you said about being patient...
Trying to achieve a result too quickly usually has bad consequences.
If you have a plant you really like, give it a chance to disappoint you. Line it out in different locations. Give it different watering regimens or levels of care. Then if it's still around in five years or so, and still impresses and pleases you, consider registering it. And then if others like it too, maybe introducing it.
...and you are SO ACCURATE about giving it time a chance to disappoint you...I had/have over 20.000 seedlings out in the field and there were some that I loved immediately then totally disappointed me even the next year...some didn't come to their best until they were in a mature clump and when the weather is so volitile it can sure take more than three years! I am going to upload an image out of TRULY ANGELIC X UKN(oh I wish I knew who!!!...By how it looks and when it blooms and by knowing who I bred it to I think it is either: SPACECOAST RASPBERRY MIST, TIMELESS ROMANCE, or STARTLE....so that's still a big selection to guess at...anyone have an idea?
the next pic I would like to share is out of a different TRULY ANGELIC seedling which had one of the same parents mentioned above and then it was bred to WHITEBASE. I so like the distribution of white on the tips of the petals like little snowballs or popcorn or pearls.. it has a distinction all of its own..only the first yr so it could change drastically I know..but I sure hope not..just hope it lays flatter!
