Could anybody offer any advice on what information it is correct to put on a plant label when selling.
For instance, if I purchased a plant with a label stating something along the lines that the plant was "propagated from the XYZ National Collection" and later I sold offsets, or indeed the original plant, should I pass that information to the buyer? Is it correct to do so from an etiquette point of view or a scientific one?
Similarly plants labelled with Field numbers or locality information? Can this be passed on if any material is sold?
TIA

Re: Naming conventions when selling plants
You could write 'ex' in front of the locality data or original source, for your offspring of these plants.
Re: Naming conventions when selling plants
I always include any information that came with the plant unless proven to be incorrect or I have learnt since acquisitions.

Re: Naming conventions when selling plants
I have a number of Echinopsis hybrids but I will not swap or sell offsets until the plant has flowered and is correct for the name on the label as there is some sellers on auction sites that sell anything and say it's a schick hybrid and then when it flowers it white
