Re: What is "introduction"?


Does it matter who offers the iris for sale, or does public offering in anybody's catalog constitute introduction?  Does it require any kind of consent of the registered hybridizer or may somebody who bought it legitimately from the hybridizer at some point later offer it for sale (introduce it?) without further resort to the hybridizer?  I ask these questions with a specific cultivar, TRANQUILINO, in mind.  It was registered by Gene Gaddie sometime in the mid-late 80s, I believe, but never introduced by him.   I saw it in gardens at the 1990 AIS Convention in Omaha and decided I wanted it but could not find it in any catalog.  Despite my urging, Gene didn't introduce it himself in any sale offering, but a few years ago it was listed in Roger Nelson's Iris Country catalog.  Now,  is it's status that of "introduced" or not?
