I imagine that the convention of using the pod parent to identify is
just carry over from other things people breed. In horses for
example, they identify the foal by its mother. ex. the '99 Departing
Locks colt, or the '98 Supreme Splendor filly, This is BECAUSE that
mare will only have one foal per year while the stallion may have
quite a few and it may be quite a while before the foal is registered
and gets a name of its own. (that part at least seems to be the same
in irises) So anyway, I suspect they use the pod parent/mother
convention, because that is what they were used to, after all people
have probably been breeding horses longer than they have been
breeding iris.
