No, Wendy, the pollen parent is supposed to come first. However, if the
plant were registered, the reciprocal cross would get the same name [you
would have to maintain the parentage info to know which way it went].

Thanks Ray, so the pollen parent comes first on the tag no? So
then shouldn't the award be after the first plant in the cross?

No. The AOS requires that you provide a cultivar name to distinguish
it from others.

A label such as that indicates that the pollen parent was a plant
that had an HCC, not which particular cultivar that was.

Can you have an award without a clonal name?
eg.
C. walkeriana X L. sincorana HCC/AOS
