parttimegardener said:Among German breeders/collectors this practice is not appreciated. The comments I saw were mostly complaints about the fact, that it simplifies misnaming of semps and that none of the (living) breeders (e.g. Martin Haberer) was ever asked if he's okay with his semp creation being re-named and sold under a different name.
Even if there are no plant patents pending, it's still a question of politeness to ask, I think.

List of hybridizers of those 12 recycled Chick Charms is:
Gustaff Van Der Steen
Martin Haberer
Gary Gossett
Ed Skrocki
Andre Smits
Volkmar Schara
Kevin Vaughn
Sandy McPherson
...one unknown hybridizer of 'Rocknoll Rosette' (probably from old Rocknoll Nursery
in Morrow Ohio.
...one is semp species allionii (former Jov), how can one trademark a straight species?
...one is a species selection (to the best of my knowledge not a hybrid);
calcareum 'Mrs Giuseppi' collected by Dr. P.L. Giuseppi
