Parentage doesn't really matter to me even though I hybridize. I have lots of older plants where the parents aren't listed but I still use them in my program because they do well in my garden. I'm far more concerned about where geographically a plant comes from. I have seedlings from plants that were hybridized in the South (and died quickly in my yard) that do just fine in my garden because only their hardy offspring survive in my area. I may still buy a southern hybridized plant to get the genetics but I will make sure to set as many pods on it as possible and use a ton of the pollen in crosses because I know it most likely won't bloom and/or survive more than a year or two.
