Karen,
I'm a noob too. This is my second year of making controlled crosses. I have been listing pod parent first and pollen parent 2nd. If I have this backwards, someone who really knows (Daylily people?), please straighten me out quick!

(Same as pictured with Inky and Plum Fantasy - amazing performer first year - I have crosses from it too - shall I list some of them?)
Luna Rose:

Very compact 1 1/2 foot plant.
I have some Pink Elephant x Pink Elephant (don't breed true) and Luna Rose x Luna Rose (generally look like parent), if you want me to list them too...

@DraDiana You're killing me, too Hilarious! I brought work home last night, and, instead of doing my homework, I agonized over picking out two of your hibiscus crosses and two of @Lalambchop1 's daylily crosses. Then I went to bed. Then I realized I wasn't going to sleep, worrying about someone snapping up the Hibiscus acetosella @luvsgrtdanes listed Hilarious!

D'Oh! Darn it! I had a 50-50 chance of getting it right. The tags on my seed pods are correct, and I haven't labeled the individual pill pouches yet (because I ran out), so I'll get them labeled pollen parent first on those. That way they will be right if some one decides to put any back into another swap. *Blush*

Ok, here's my shameless plug: pregnant onion. Not an edible onion, but makes for a unique houseplant. The seeds form on the bulb of the onion, then fall off over time. I have a devil of a time trying to get them to germinate, but I admit I'm not the best gardener. I've listed one pack, but noticed there enough seeds to do a couple more if there's interest.

@DraDiana
You have the parents listed in the correct order. The proper form is:

Pod parent × Pollen parent

A multiplication sign " × "seems to the current correct symbol for crosses.
In the past, a capital "X" was often used between the names of the parents used in the current cross.

Edited to add:

Here are two quotes from from American Hemerocallis Society. It appears that there have been some changes.

The older version from 2005
https://www.daylilies.org/Dayl...

"PARENTAGE
This is not required information, but is important to the breeder and to many growers. Space is provided for the pod and pollen parents. For AHS Check List consistency, the pod (i.e., female) parent is listed first, followed by a capital X (which means pollinated by), followed by the pollen (i.e., male) parent. A small x is used in all other generations.

One Generation Example: (SHOCKWAVE X SUNNY MAGIC)
Two Generation Example: [(CHATEAU BLANC x PALE BLUSH) X Seedling]
Three Generation Example: {PALE BLUSH X [KALI x (Seedling x POLLY MAYO)]}
"

From the Current PDF -
https://www.daylilies.org/Dayl...

"PARENTAGE
This is not required information, but is important to the breeder and to
many growers and its inclusion is strongly encouraged. Space is provided for the pod and pollen parents. For AHS Check list consistency, the pod (i.e., female) parent is listed first, followed by a multiplication sign, (which means pollinated by), followed by the pollen (i.e., male) parent.

One Generation Example: (Shockwave × Sunny Magic)
Multi-Generation Example: ((Chateau Blanc × Pale Blush) × sdlg)
Multi-Generation Example: (Pale Blush × (Kali × (sdlg × Polly Mayo)))
"

Also, note the use of parentheses. With crosses between two named cultivars or species it's not as vital, but when you start using your unnamed hybrids in your crosses then you'll need to use them to prevent confusion.

Thank you Danita!
I feel luckier now that I know I'm on the good side of the 50/50 chance. I have all my seeds for DnD's swap labeled, and I did them Pod Parent first!! Hurray!
Also, if I put in my seedling crosses, I now know how to label them, too. Smiling
I haven't labeled this swap yet, so all's well. Thumbs up

@kelli @kelliw,

It seems I've made a small error in the name of the person wanting Canna..... Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Kelli, you poor Lady, you must have been so confused. Confused

KelliW, the pink Canna's have been added into your bag. I got them in a trade. There's no year marked but I had them in my 2017 bag of canna's so I must have gotten them in 2017.
