Trying to better understand some of the details of how plants are named and how I should record them, especially if I ever try to do any crosses. I have purchased some plants and the naming is all over the place. Some were labelled as lost tag so I get that those can't probably be re-traced to anything.
However, many of them include the location (county or town and state), is that normal? Why is it important to include (not trying to be stupid with this question), but I would assume that once a plant is removed from its natural environment it does not necessarily look or grow the same way? If I were to cross a plant with a location name does that carry over?
What about people's names? For instance I have one that is listed as S. minor (Bob Hanrahan, Lois Ochs) what does that mean?
Thank you. I searched and tried to find information on the site, but did not see anything.
