This topic may have been covered here before, but I sure learned a lesson when I naively thought I might get some good plants from seeds saved from hybridized salpiglossis (Bolero). The result of about 2 dozen plants was ZERO for the same colour, and mostly huge-leaved pants with tiny blooms.
I saw a documentary many years ago (I think it was on The Victory Garden on PBS) explaining the hybridization of a cauliflower variety. Two awful plants were cross-pollinated to produce a fabulous result, which itself could not reproduce.
Lesson learned.
