"My favorite part?

Probably the first passages in the screening plot where you discover "your new babies", resulting from your previous hybridizations. You are in front of the plant, you hesitate, you grope and that's when everything happens... it's sometimes disappointing because you have to say: 'no, not you', but also exciting to hope you have found 'the rare gem'."
