Ray,
Thanks for the detailed, and very correct, explanation.
Dulcinea (& others):
I usually buy more than one of any seed grown plant that interests me. Then, as I bloom them out, I give the 'keepers' clonal names. That tells me that I don't want to sell that plant, and also helps me connect flower photos to the correct plant.
Eventually, as the plant grows large and I make divisions, I start selling those. The clonal names link to the flower photos, and the buyer gets to see exactly what they are getting.
