great input peeps, thanks for clarifying. i had my suspicions after reading a bunch, but the process of going from pollination to named hybrids get super confusing. it does seem as if there is a lot of trust involved. i suppose the rhs has responsibility there to ensure clarity and giving due credit. so then, ive asked this question before, but what if you are a home breeder, and send your capsule to a big name lab for flasking? is this the situation that Kim was referring to? like, to me it seems obvious that a lab/nursery would get a really great new cross and then just steal it from the breeder just to sell a great new hybrid and never give that person credit. so, who is protecting the little guy in this scenario? or is it just assumed that the home breeder never makes such crosses?
this is all hypothetical of course, im just trying to understand a bit more about the inner working of the orchid breeding world
