Hi folks. I am new to the iris world, but I make a living as a plant
breeder in vegetables. I see talk of iris auctions and mention of "last
year's introductions" being for sale. Technically speaking, is that
breaking the law to sell someone elses variety? I assumemost new
introductions are protected by a plant variety protection document, which
would prevent most folks from marketing them for 14 years.
Just curious.
