I get Orange Russian 117 seed in envelope. It really look nice, can't wait to try it. Something confusing me however, on Tatyana's page there is info this is cross between Russian 117 and Georgia Streak.

On another page they say its a cross and also open pollinated.

I thought every OP variety gives "true to type" seed, and from cross or hybrid you can't take seed - or you can but you will not get plant same as that you taken seed from.

Can I save seed from OR 117 and plant next year that variety?
