I believe as a spokesperson for the hybridizers you are doing them a
disservice.
The correct steps to profit from hosta hybridizing are well known among the
crowd you and I hang with. Your insistence that most or all hosta hybridizers
are being morally mistreated by the nursery industry is misleading and false.
You are breeding discontent and it is not a good thing.
Don't spoil the fun hosta hybridizers are having by constantly suggesting that
they should be making big money from their hobby. You are just setting them up
for a big let down. You and I know it has never been that way and most likely
never will.
You have mentioned several times that TC destroys the value of a hosta. The
value of a hosta should be measured by the enjoyment a gardener gets from
growing it, not it's cost. 'My Child Insook' at $100 is no more valuable than
'My Child Insook' at $20. Maybe you mean earning potential instead of value.
