Initial inbreeding to an essentially homozygous condition followed by self-pollination and seed propagation results in a seed strain and differs from a clone. I would think that commercial named hybrids are clones.

certain there are very knowledgeable people on the listserve.
The two most likely ways are cloning, whether with offsets, chipping, or
micropropagation and initial inbreeding to an essentially homozygous
condition followed by self-pollination and seed propagation.
I'm mostly interested in hippeastrums but any information is good
information.
I would be grateful for any insights,
Tim
