Well, verse, yeah, if the hybrids become the only plants left but that isn't the case... Hyrids are just extras... That's kinda the beauty of gardening... When it comes down to it bees are hybridizers... They will take polen from one azalea, for instance, to another and thus, a new azalea... So all hybridizers do, in most cases, is just fill in as bees...

It used to be that camellias wouldn't grow north of Richmond, Va. but Dr Ackerman found that some were more cold hardy than others so he hybridized cold hardiness into several hybrids and now folks as far north as New York can enjoy them... Eventually bees might have down the same thing but why wait... Men are part of God's creatures, too...

Well, biggest concert of the year was last night in town so today is a fee day for me so think I'll go out and do a little gardeing today... No, make that alot...

The P-Vine gave me a list...
