Flower Conflict and Registerability

From the Web Deputy

I've done some cosmetic polishing on the original content - but ALL of the technical content is the same as it was. The original page is archived on the Wayback Machine.

 

Yves, August 2008

While checking a flower for conflict, I decided it was too much of pain to keep track of, like crosses and lines of division. So I went and made a table. Silly me. I have also appended a list of post-period flowers. Not all of them, just the ones I've had to research.

POST-PERIOD FLOWERS

 

Amaryllis

From the mountains of Peru and Chile, discovered in 1828 by Eduard Frederich Poeppig, a physician from Leipzig. (Not necessarily true. See Amaryllis Coleman, sometime in Shauna's tenure. It's a return for other reasons.) http://pine.usask.ca/cofa/departments/hort/hortinfo/plants/amaryll.html Current page.

 

Poinsettia

Native to Mexico, the poinsettia originated in a region near the present-day city of Taxco. Joel Robert Poinsett, a Southern plantation owner and botanist, was appointed the first United States Ambassador to Mexico (1825-1829). While visiting Taxco, he was struck by the beauty of the brilliant red plants he found blooming in the region during December.
