"WRT to "unknown" - if one of the parents is a cultivar that you know, but it is not registered with the AHS, the AHS requires you to list that parent as "unknown"."
Rob, I just looked this up on the AHS website, showing an unregistered cross -
Daylily Cultivar - Scarlet Lace
Color: red with white bubbled and braided edge above green heart yellow ring throat
Parentage: ((Desperado Love × Wish Fulfillment) × Edge of Eden)
And I've seen many, many just like it. If it's a very long, complicated, tongue twisting mire, I wouldn't blame them for "sdlg x sdlg". But they could at least copy and paste it once in the description on their website!
"unknown" seems like someone is lying. Sometimes, you can even look at the flower and see one of the parents! If it's a bee pod they should say that. Daniel once said that he had nothing but first rate parents in his garden, and that any pod would have merit.
If they found it on the ground, they should say so, and I've seen it be said before. It would go a long way towards making me trust them. I know they can't be pollinating flowers and then picking seed pods, with a blindfold on!
