Hi Saiva,
What your father has is a completely new variation of the same hybrid, perhaps even a more desireable one, depending on your taste.
A new hybrid comes from the crossing of two different parents, a new variation would be similar to different expressions of the same cross...in humans it is comparable to siblings in a family. They have the same parents, only they look diffeent because the genetics are expressed differently.
In this case, the mutation appears because the genetics are being expressed differently on that particular plant.
It's all good no matter what.
In this case, variation, clone and cultivar mean the same thing...thanks kavanaru and Kat...you must have been typing at the same time I was.
