plant naming convention

#1

Post by agavedave »

When assigning names to hybrid plants is there a correct convention to use,

eg. agave plant1 x plant2

does it matter which plant was the host and which one was the pollen donor?

Best Regards

Yes, female is always first. Same in my household, too.

thanks Paul

female first... I'll remember that next time I want some plants bringing under cover in a hurry when it throws it down!
