Claudia said:I am considering registering this plant so I do need answers to a few basic things.To be certain that the plants maintain their appearance you should grow them for a year or two before considering registering the sport.
1. I have 2 fans showing different traits so would I register them both as 1 plant or would they each be considered an individual sport?You probably should separate the two fans and grow each of them into a clump to check that they do consistently show different traits before considering registering them. I expect that when you have many scapes blooming at the same time in clumps from the two different fans that they do not show consistently different flower traits.
2. So what/how would the parentage be listed? Flasher x Flasher or Flasher x unknown?That is probably a question for the American Hemerocallis Society. The plants are not new hybrids and have the same parentage as 'Flasher' does if they are consistent sports.
3. Am I the Hybridizer even though this is a sport?Again a question for the American Hemerocallis Society as the plants were not hybridized/bred/etc. They are selected from a named registered growing plant so you could be described as the selector. If you introduce the plants to commerce you could be described as the introducer. However, I don't think either of those terms are used any more.
