There won't be any heckling

It's a good question
I think there are two lines of thought on the subject...and I think both make sense
I prefer species...besides the fact that they are a natural occurence I like that I can see (pretty closely) exactly what it likes/needs when I research it.
Then there are hybrids which take (hopefully) the "good" traits from each parent and combine to create a plant that has "likes" from each of it's parents that can be combined for "easier" growing.
In truth, it really doesn't matter to me...I love them all
