Parental plants Willy as the clones Nevil had were what he used to make his Hybrids with.
A breeder is not going to hand out Clones he uses to breed with to have them end up in the hands of competitors/ Other seed company's and that is what would of happened if these clones were in Holland in peoples hands.
Personally i like selecting my own plants and i have surprised both Nevil and Shanti in the selections i made in plants i found from both their work.
Ah, here, I was talking about crosses, a certain A5 cut, or skunk C...not a parent plant
Obviously a breeder wouldn't part with his parent plants, but I don't see why he wouldn't have given cuttings of his crosses .... I also believe that over the years the various breeders (ALL, not just Nevil) have played on the ambiguity "the exact plant that won the cups" and "the cross from which the plant that won the cross came out"
