>> But I also like another term he uses: "promiscuously pollinated".

I agree, and I wish everyone would use "PP" instead of "OP" when they trade seeds that were pollinated with a lot of genetic variety.

Probably more home gardeners have "promiscuous pollination" among multiple varieties than have isolation distances.

I think it was Deb who pointed out another abbreviation, useful when you want to say that you collected this seed FROM the variety 'Gorgeous Rarity' , but the pollen was "whatever".

ex 'Gorgeous Rarity'.
