Information/recommendations:

There are tens of thousands of species and cultivars of ornamental flowers and plants in the world. Members are encouraged to visit http://www.desu.edu/herbarium and the references noted therein to better appreciate the magnitude of the cultivar explosion. Nearly every day additional ornamental cultivars are introduced someplace in the world.

It is estimated that there are about 150 to 200 researchers in the world dedicated to study the postharvest care, handling and physiology of ornamental plants. Indeed, about 15% of these individuals are Chain of Life Network® contributors and are listed in the Database section.

Combining the information presented in the two previous paragraphs strongly suggests that it is impossible for these researchers to have investigated even a very small fraction of the floral crop cultivars presently in commerce let alone the ones that are added at least weekly. Hence, the information and recommendations presented in the Chain of Life Network® Internet site should be viewed considering two main qualifiers. 1) They represent the best possible data interpreted from the cultivars tested. 2) That Members need to interpret and implement the recommendations considering their own situations and goals.
