Isn't in "Pollen" on "Pod"??

Actually, now that I think of it, the RHS form had the "seed" parent
first, so my original guess of Pod x Pollen was apparently correct/

Correction: Sorry, I apparently mis-typed. The _pod_ parent is
supposed to come first. [I could swear that's what I typed G].
But in actual practice, this is often unknown, esp. with crosses,
like Love Knot, that have been re-made more than once. For example,
if I got in a batch of Love Knot, they would probably be labelled
only with that name, and not with the actual parentage as well. So
for purposes of giving parentage on my tags, I go with the way it
was first registered, but it is always possible that that particular
batch could have been made by the reciprocal cross.

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].
