If you believe that, then I strongly suspect that you don't know the difference between a hybrid & a GMO.
My thought was also that there was confusion here between hybrids and GMO seeds.
@Smartseeds, forgive me if I misunderstood your post; it did sound as though you were talking about OP varieties being contaminated by hybrid varieties so they were no longer the true OP strain. Which can certainly happen, as can contamination by GMO plants, particularly if yours are near a farming operation that uses those.
I think most of us here grow at least some hybrid varieties... in my own case, I'm trying to grow more OP and heirloom types, but they don't always live up to my expectations, so I keep experimenting with them while continuing to grow some of my "old favorites" hybrids. At any rate, any time we save seeds when it's important to keep them "pure", it's also important to isolate the plants/blooms in some way (as I'm sure you know
)
