Elizabeth Harrison - T&M got a priceless bit of publicity relatively cheaply. (It's also a very nice snowdrop!)
In case you do want to read the ICNCP Rules referred to, there is an online copy here http://www.actahort.org/chronica/pdf/sh_10.pdfI've always been told that article 25.1 d says that publication is not effected by electronic media. I had taken this on trust hitherto but now I have read it for myself.
Quote from: Maggi Young on Today at 01:45:54 PM The green markings are far from stable in such 'drops as Green Light, aren't they?
From Alan_b : I'm quite insulted, Maggi . 'Green Light' rarely fails to produce green mark on the outer petals. Although the size of the mark can be variable it is very rarely absent. All but one of the flowers in my photo have a green mark on the outers, although in some cases it is tiny and right at the tip so not readily visible in the picture. The exception is the flower that has struggled to produce the requisite number of petals; presumably an immature bulb.What you say about the instability of green marks is true of some other inferior brands.

That's what I like so much about this Forum too (and the SRGC website in general) because you can go back and renew threads and get a more historical perspective on gardening, which is also what a scientific education teaches - it makes for very solid foundations. And the archive of information from Ian's Bulb log and from Jim Archibald is really unequalled. It is the internet at its very best. (Perhaps occasionally a little seriousness creeps in? - but I did love Maggi's example of putting snow chains on a car and Cliff's reply!).
Little b******s!!!
Most professional (academic) scientists who teach (especially the younger ones) have no interest whatsoever in the history of their subjects. Maybe horticulture is different.

That's not quite the whole story - electronic publication is sufficient, providing that printed copies are lodge with certain libraries. For some " more formalised electronic publications, such a s those with ISSN listing, those papers are automatically digitally "harvested " by the major libraries, so I think that is a different issue.
