Carolyn, it absolutely does not matter that you, or anyone else prefers the name Omar's Lebanese Heart, to the already established name that Darin has chosen of Dotson's Lebanese Heart. Seeds have already been distributed and it is listed that way in the Tomatobase.
Omar did NOT have a heart from his tomato. You did not ever have a heart from Omar's tomato. Apparantly, no one EVER had a heart from Omar's tomato until Darin found one in his garden two years ago. He did not receive his seeds from Omar, he did not receive his seeds from you. He purchased his seeds from Totally Tomatoes, a commercial company and who knows how many generations and years their growers seeds were removed from those first ones supplied by Omar. In all those years, no one came forward with a heart until Darin. He found it and has every right to call it whatever he wants. Not what you want, and not what anyone else wants. This is now Darin's find, and Omar can no longer take any credit for it.
