Thanks Tom that explained a lot about the hybrids!
I am getting intrigued by this talk of hybrids and here are some
more 'stupid' questions.
What do you think are the most important (astounding?) and common
thing that has been achieved by the hybridization work?
Do you know if there are any special current projects?
Are there any projects driven or sponsored or is encouraged by the AIS?
Do you know if there are any plans for future project?
I for myself could think of a number of interesting areas to develop.
Better hardiness, Higher disease resistance, getting scenting flowers or
reblooming or longer flowering!
And could anyone tell me how the pollination is done (I think it is the same
as I do with rhododendrons), but tell me anyway.
Thanks in advance
