There seems to be some confusion on the web about the true parentage of the Yellow Centiflor. Judging by the fact it seems to have been available for approximately the same length of time as the red version I tend to think it is a sister line from the original species cross, and not one of the second generation outcrosses.
The Orange Centiflor is definitely from the cross of Red Centiflor and Sungold, this is documented with no room for confusion, see peaceseedslive.blogspot.com. If you look at the way the listings are worded it seems as if the listings for Red Clusterpear and Orange Centiflor were inserted between the pre-existing listings for Red and Yellow Centiflor. Note the wording "both parent species" in the description for Yellow Centiflor; I do not think Dr Kapuler would have used the species designation if one of the parents was the hybrid Sungold, but it makes perfect sense if the listing originally followed the red version.
