Bonnie, the information in parentheses is the chart of the cross displayed so that it can be written in words. It can be a bit hard to read and hard to lay out even. The pod parent is always first and the names within parentheses should actually have seedling numbers since that is what they represent. Makes it even more confusing if you are not used to working with them. Notice the small 'x' is used inside the parentheses and the large 'X' is between the pod and the pollen halves of the chart. Everything before the large 'X' is part of the pod parentage and everything after is part of the pollen parentage... Maybe I should have left this alone.
