Hybrids .... nomenclature advice please

Post by el48tel »

I know hybrids from seed is an anathema to many, but what is the correct way of ascribing the name?
Is it ....
female parent name X male parent name
Or
male parent name X female parent name

For those seeds of indeterminate male parentage because insects naturally intervened .... is it ....
X plant name from which the seeds were collected

With regards to harvesting the seed ... when and how?
With regards to sowing the seeds .. when ... and if to wait ... storage etc?
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Quote the female parent first.

If it is an absent father then just say ex-mother.

Harvest, storage and sowing will vary enormously with species and family.
