It would be nice to see it as an article in "irises"........titled something like "One Hybridizer's View On Ethics in the Garden ", or some such ! I think, too often, all of us 'forget" our "manners' when it comes to *sharing* iris, or even iris photographs......something that I do, and always with mixed emotions  ....is "share", or trade, iris with other 'iris buddies', and at the same time, bemoan the loss of the "commercial sellers" who go *out of business* ! In reality , the best way to keep those *commercial sources*, ...is to BUY from them ! I usually try to purchase iris from the hybridizer, if possible.......ie. the Tasco's from Superstition, or the Spoon's from Winterberry, and , although I seldom buy "new introductions", (I tend to wait until the price comes down, a bit  ), I still would rather give them the chance of selling their "own" iris. ( That is rather hard to do, as , most of the hybridizers I tend to "collect", have been tending the big iris garden in the sky for a long time ) |
