farawayfarmer said:I'm going to stick my neck out here, and ask an obvious question: why is there so much interest in these original species,
given that hybridizers are an untold number of generations removed from them.

It's not like they're particularly attractive, for example, so why the interest?


Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I happen to love the original species. Plus, they are tough, since they are still around. Many recent hybrids are long gone after a few years. They just didn't hold up like the originals did. So, there is more than one reason why so many people love them.
