Lisa,

Thanks for the expose on F1 and F2 hybrids.  One of our group posted
notes about F6 hybrids - that had been unchanged through six
generations.  I have not ever seen any packets of seeds that says F6.  

However . . . I have noticed in recent years seeds labeled S1 hybrids -
usually pansies.  Underneath it says something about 'synthetic
hybrids'.

Anyone know what that is about?


Regards

Brian
