On one forum we had a long discussion about Optimara's patents. Lorraine from Optimara came on and explained a lot about this and why they do not put name tags in every plant.

She says as long as growers reproduce the patent plants and sell/give them away, it is ok. But when big sellers sell them in large number they must buy a name tag from Selective Gardener (they used to cost 3 cents a nametag)

So if you are a small grower you are all right to sell a few plants.

Do inquire from Optimara or Selective Gardener in case their rules have changed.

Thank you, Nancy. I'll contact them again.
