I have this need to know who's who when I'm in the seedling bed so I add the initials of the parents to the seedling # along with the year I planted the seeds
04NRlse01 is Nut Ruffles X Lakeside Elf 1st seedling with the seeds planted in 04

The problem arises when the parents are unknown
This seedling and its siblings came from mixed arilbred seeds of unknown parentage that I wanted to play with so that if they died there was nothing loss. Unfortunately or fortunately three are introducable
this is the latest one to bloom and I just gave it 02AB05. Seedling 1 & 3 are now registered and introduced, #4 I gave too much away and what I kept died and #2 is so ugly that I keep it hidden but use it as a parent which it is very good at. and #6 still has not bloomed.
