    If selling/trading a batch of seedlings from the one cross, it should be sold as the cross, example .   SS02 X SS01 . If there is a stand out in the seedlings you like, you should grow it out clone it to see if it stays true and then name it.  

     

    Not every seedling that you grow or buy/trade needs a name.

    A  36cm variegated pach went for $980 the other week.   a grafted CSD just looks like a standard TB but on it's own roots it's a monstrose.. Who really cares how much a trichocereus goes for?. I have spent 5 times a Ebay CSD in a night out, many times..

    New hybrids and cultivars can be registered through the royal horticultural society but I don't think there's much of that going on with cacti due to lack of certainty between different species etc.

     

    Anyone can name a clone though.

     

    for instance if you were to remake the Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon' it would still be a Robyn Gordon but you could name your new clone after yourself which would be written

    Grevillea 'Robyn Gordon' 'Fungal Forest'

     

    It doesn't matter/count if you are the first to make the clone, it only counts if you are the first to register it.

    No it won't , You need a lot of info on your new ''cultivar' , grow out trails, breeding programs and so on.  This is only for  recognised registration for plant breeds.

    Cactus and most succulents you don't need to do any form of registration, Aloe breeding is a good example,  There's a load of new cultivars being ripped off by other collectors..  Names are popping up everywhere of the same cultivar.

     

    Same with trichocereus I believe but what can we do ? Go with Flow? :o   Just put 'RARE' on the listing, BOOM

    love your garden Smithy, awesome work I'm sure a whole lotta time and effort went into that but the payoff in terms of beauty, enjoyment and rejuvination is 10-fold :wub:

    Thanks very much bogfrog, It took many years of hard work to finally buy a good block of land but it's a must if you want a epic garden ..:lol:

    That's what she said to do also (PH ebay) Smithy and you're right too they aren't the same person.

    I wonder who the reverred SAB 'Planthelper' is/was and what happened there?

     

    She said the cut was taken 11 days ago, I have a Peru John cut taken same time, mailed same time as well, but its been held up at chullora, sydney from its way down from 'bimby.

    Where as the Len Macro arrived today. Christ I hope this other cut arrives tomorrow and doesn't spent the weekend in the post office.

     

    Cheers for the advice peeps.

    For me to know and you to find out. Lol.  It mainly happens to large cuts were moisture is  lost and there's no airflow around the cut. I wouldn't worry about this one,

    Leave it, It's fine, Put it in the sun for a few hours.  This happens when it's still wet and not callused due to moisture .[like watching a orange go bad] They needed to wait a few more days before posting
