Legacy Project

1. Legacy Project

2. Current Situation • The Azalea Society of America in general and the Northern Virginia Chapter have a large number of hybridizers who have made significant contributions to the existing variety of cultivars Brenda Marie Klimavicz – Joe Klimavicz

3. ‘James Stewart’ Current Situation • The Azalea Society of America in general and the Northern Virginia Chapter have a large number of hybridizers who have made significant contributions to the existing variety of cultivars • Many of these hybrids have not been introduced commercially Amherst – Bob Stewart

4. Current Situation • The Azalea Society of America in general and the Northern Virginia Chapter have a large number of hybridizers who have made significant contributions to the existing variety of cultivars • Many of these hybrids have not been introduced commercially • No formal process exists to maintain information on the hybridizers and their cultivars Venus Baby – Sandra McDonald

5. Current Situation • The Azalea Society of America in general and the Northern Virginia Chapter have a large number of hybridizers who have made significant contributions to the existing variety of cultivars • Many of these hybrids have not been introduced commercially • No formal process exists to maintain information on the hybridizers and their cultivars • No formal process exists to maintain copies of the cultivars Carolyn - Pete Vines

6. Proposed Solution • Institute the “Legacy Project” as a means of maintaining information on selected hybridizers

7. Proposed Solution • Institute the “Legacy Project” as a means of maintaining information on selected hybridizers • Identify “Legacy Keepers” to manage the collection, storage and dissemination of information on the selected hybridizer

8. Legacy Project Goal Help ensure the continuation of knowledge of azalea hybridizers and their plants and maintain true specimens of their cultivars. Mini-Carnations - McDonald Irish Cream - Vines

Suggested Output Products of the Project – continued • Lists of “best of breed” plants by the hybridizer • Copies of all or “best of breed” cultivars of the hybridizers • Identification of private and commercial sources of plants • Introduction of cultivars into public gardens • Featured hybrids in chapter plant sales and auctions. Provide information on the hybridizers

24. Implementation • Implementation is best done as a team effort headed by “Legacy Keepers” to capitalize on individual strengths (e.g., propagation of plants, public speaking, writing etc.)

25. Implementation • Implementation is best done as a team effort headed by “Legacy Keepers” to capitalize on individual strengths (e.g., propagation of plants, public speaking, writing etc.) • Any hybridizer can be included. All it requires is someone to volunteer to be a “Legacy Keeper”

26. Implementation • Implementation is best done as a team effort headed by “Legacy Keepers” to capitalize on individual strengths (e.g., propagation of plants, public speaking, writing etc.) • Any hybridizer can be included. All it requires is someone to volunteer to be a “Legacy Keeper” • Output list is a suggested list. Not all elements need be done
