Re: Re: Awards for Irises from Europe

OK, I get the idea, but if I lived in (for example) France, bought new intros from a North American hybridizer and resold by some sort of overnight catalog in the same month I received them, wouldn't this invalidate the awards potential?  Or would everyone else (being gentlemen) just sort of pretend it didn't happen, and somehow always be out of stock when I attempted to purchase new intros in the future?

see what happens when an engineer's brain is allowed to run around loose without a job to keep it occupied?

tempting.

No loophole, John.  First off, you would be an additional "North  
American nursery", and the introduction does not have to be an  
"exclusive" to a single nursery.  Second, it is the point of sale  
(North America), not the point of delivery, so you could send them  
anywhere in the world and it wouldn't impact the rules.
