Hmmmm, i guess i thought that "variations" happened in nature, for example the same plant developing natural differences by adapting to different environmental locations. Is hybridization the same as cross-breeding? How would a hybrid be created in nature without human hands in there mucking things up? I mean, i suppose that plants have genetic abnormalities like anything else. Is this what you are referring to? Ohhhhh, the slippery slope to the sandbox, for sure
