Thanks all for helping with the patent question-- I will be well armed with info to argue my case that they SHOULD have names on them, and to prove to her they are not all patented (and hopefully none are so I can share the joy and beauty of all my bootie)
I'm tempted to list what I have for pure bragging rites
BUT... I am keeping records- I've got excel sheets with >variety name >daylily database photo or seller's photo >basic info (color, ht, blm sz, frag) >my photo >notes
Unks I'm keeping basic info and several photos, I have her mostly complete list of which varety was in which beds and that I track of which bed I dug from- fortunately got most recorded and tagged before rain washed the info. But as you see, lots of mysteries
I'll be keeping track or the next couple years and selling only those that are named correctly (and not patented) plus I'll use my own photos (it's disappointing to see the brilliant web photos and compare to my dull blooms, but I don't want to mislead Washington gardeners.)
