What Paul says is exactly correct. This cross was made at H&R & these plants were produced & sold in community pots to another grower. Then that grower potted up the CP's & grew the individual plants, to be sold at Lowes.
H&R has a number of different unrelated parent plants of Den spectabile & different combinations can sometimes produce different results in the offspring. For our purposes, we carefully record the individual parents to trace the results in the offspring. Plants sent out of our nursery have this information on their tags.
Most of our customers who grow plants for big box stores don't bother to put on such detailed information. This grower did.
Even for other species, the choice of different parent plants can matter greatly. Of course, there also are many species which we propagate, that we don't indicate specific parent names. This is the case when we have found that we can use different parents pretty much interchangeably, with similar results.
