Hi Teresa! I believe what actually happened was you submitted Lily Looks as a trade name. When a plant has a trade name then that name appears instead of the cultivar name. If there is a series name, then that appears before the trade name. So for example, If Tiny is entered as a series name and Lily Look as the trade name then it will come up in the database as Tiny Lily Looks for all of the Tiny lilies.

I know it is confusing and I was spending a lot of time researching the situation when zuzu saw the problem and thought best to remove the proposals before we mods came along and botched things up. Hilarious! .

My best resource for this sort of thing is our authority on lily names, the RHS International Lily Register and Checklist(2007) and its supplements. I have found very few lilies that actually have a trade name. If there is a trade name it will be included in the registration. You can find lily names in this register which is located via a link in a sticky at the top of the Lily Forum.

So it is probably just best to leave that extra information out of proposals. As a moderator I will look a lily up to see if it is registered and if it has a trade name as well as any other information I can add to the data.
