LOL! I won't be seen in any 'beautiful garden' magazines either. I wondered because 'hybrids' occur in nature, though man undoubtedly caused it to happen more often and under circumstances that wouldn't happen in nature. Also, creating a hybrid has fairly stringent limits imposed by nature. The plants which go into producing hybrids are nearly always really closely aligned genetically. The further the genetic distance, the less likely a hybrid is possible. I was really just curious - and yes, that sort of curiosity and interest tends to have a path leading directly into the Sandbox Big Grin .
