Dana, thank you so much for your explanation of that pedigree. . .I think
I understand! "Think" is the definitive word there!
And Randy, thank you also. Your comment about the CAPITAL X
helped me grasp the whole concept a bit more.
So, Dana, if I'm understanding you. . . If you, (as a grower)
hybridize and introduce an iris in your catalog for $40, any and ALL
other growers can buy it from you, grow it out and in two years
(approximately) sell rhizomes for, let's say, $25. Is that correct? They
would have to buy a bunch at $40 to propagate enough to have ready for
the market when they advertised at $25 I would think. That means that the
hybridizer has about two years to make top dollar on HIS creation before
other growers have the same rhizome for sale at a lesser price. . .am I
getting this straight?
Whew!!
