Re: open pollinated vs wild collected


Sally, 
Good point.  I've had this discussion with veggie seed savers many times. 
You cannot realistically maintain biodiversity with a dozen plants of each
species in your backyard.  You are making the same point --- and a very
valid one --- in distinguishing between wild collected and open-pollinated
seed.  

And then there's the differences between inbreeders and outbreeders ...
