For a grower, it takes several generations to determine if a plant is worthy, but everyone is hoping so the data base is huge. As you can see in the attached, my friend Barry Schlueter has more than 100 already in production and thousands being evaluated. Lots of record keeping. http://www.barryschlueter.com/Hibiscus_Seeds_by_Barry_Schlue... The cold took almost all of my prettier plants and I dropped my AHS membership. |
