The seed bearing plant (mother) is the one listed first. As
for the first question, it does matter for some plants, but CP'ers
haven't come up much definative data on for CP's yet. If there
is anyone who might be able to add info, I reckon that would be
Phil Sheridan, who has done alot of breeding experiments with
Sarracenia.
