A question of breeding

I understand one name x other name means parents.
If you have three names how does that apply?
An example Gai Ellen x Zipalong x visheen.

Usually there are 2 of the names in parenthesis. Such as Gai Ellen x (Zipalong x visheen). Or (Gai Ellen x Zipalong) x visheen. This shows that one of the parents is a cross and that was used to cross with another plant. The first one listed is the parent with the seed pod. In a case where there are 3 names with no parenthesis, you would have to contact the grower as someone goofed on the label. I hope this helps.

This helps Bernie. I think this means that the one parent is Den Gai Ellen and the other parent is Zipalong x Visheen. Typically this would be written as: Den Gai Ellen (Zipalong x Visheen) for clarity.

I have more news for you. The cross that is Zipalong x Visheen has been registered and named. It is: Den Bellinger Surprise. So what you actually have, if you want somethign shorter and more clear for your tag is: Den Gai Ellen x Bellinger Surprise. This hybrid has not yet been registered and named.
