dave said:We now have a new point to bring to the debate, though.

There may be a compromise, though. We currently have 2 main categories of data fields:

1) Primary Data Details (Affects all plants)

2) Specific custom details (affects just the plants in each custom database)

We could add a third one that is common to all plants, and called something like "Registration and Genetics" or something like that. In there we can include the parentage details, hybridizer, introduced date, registrar link, GMO/Hybrid/OP/etc, and so forth.

That would keep all those paperwork type details in one area that is uniform across the database.

I really like the idea of having the plant history information all in one place:
Hybrid: Yes
Hybridizer: Kevin C. Vaughn
Country of Origin: (US) United States
Year of registration: 1976
History of species or Cultivar:
Parentage: Olivette x Gloriosum
There could be an entry for 'Discovered by' or that information can be entered in 'History of species or Cultivar?
It would be great to have that information all in one spot in the data entry for the plant.
It would see that there would be some way to make this work for the ATP database?
For sempervivum either Breeder or Hybridizer works, and the date is when it was introduced on the market. Maybe there is a way

Fields would be left blank if that information is not available

There really must be a way to make this work for everyone?
