Plant patents
Here is what Terry Glancy of Pine Ridge Orchids wrote about "Lave Glow" in
the International Phalaenopsis Alaince email digest in March. Terry is the originator of the plant that Twyford Labs clones and markets as Lava Glow to producers who sell them to Home Depot: Terry wrote: "Harmony Rose" is my plant of (Ken Peterson X Mama Cass) 'Pine Ridge 6' (patent pending) and "Lava Glow" is Baldan Orchids' (Buddha's Treasure X pulcherrima) 'Lava Glow'. I have been trying to "persuade" them to at least put the "commercial name" in double quotes so that buyers might realize the "commercial name" has nothing to do with the RHS/AOS registered grex names. "Gene Schurg" wrote in message rthlink.net... Pat, Funny you should mention Twyford's Lava Glow.....I started this discussion because at the Home Depot in Reston there is a cart of out of bloom Phal Lava Glow for 1/2 price. They have a Twyford's tag with the "don't you even think about trying to make a copy of this plant" warning. So they have patented a plant that Home Depot can't sell for 1/2 price grin. Ok they are out of bloom but look amazingly well. I had to look....it's like a car accident on the highway and you have to slow down and check it out. Now what I find really interesting is that they haven't even registered Lava Glow on the RHS database? Furthermore, they don't have any particular clone of Lava Glow indicated on the tag! Good Growing, Gene |
