For me, I'm just a novice home gardener, and many times I just prefer growing my own seeds to see what will result. I've produced lots of weird stuff, and some beauties, too. I especially enjoy seeing how rudbeckias cross pollinate. I never pollinate by hand, it's all from the birds and bees. Last year I started some rud Prarie Sun from commercial seeds. They looked like this.
