Hi Andrew, thanks for answering, Yes I do remember my college genitics
barely I wont mention when that was. LOL)
You confirmed my thoughts on how varied the seeds will be, even from same
plant crosses, I needed the confirmation because I have seen *named*
Siberian seeds for sale and was wondering if they could possibly be true to
the parent plant.
This will be my first year hybridizing so wish me luck.

Well the benefit ( knowing now that we cannot) would be that seeds would
be harvested as an additional garden product, easier to ship, and the
customer gets tend the seedlings for 3 years to see the bloom, not the
breeder.
Wishing you continued success with your studies this year... when do you
graduate?
