I agree with you that you have to make some decisions about what seeds 
you want to germinate as you just don't have the time and space to 
grow all of them, but sometimes you just don't get the results you 
expect.  Kind of what makes hybridizing interesting.  Two years ago I 
picked up some OP seeds from Waldenwest and planted quite a few seeds 
in total, but I planted smaller quantities of a lot of different pod 
parents.  This past fall I only picked up some seeds of Abiqua 
Elephant Ears and ventricosa ‘Aureomaculata' as I got interesting 
results from both of them the previous year.
