It takes a very long time

Yet for every botanist there is nothing more beautiful or interesting than trying to create a new plant. It is the ultimate professional satisfaction that Gohar rose brought him.
Hybrids have shorter lifespan
It is generally known that hybrids have shorter lifespan and that is why Gohar one of the biggest challenges was to make the lifespan of his new flower longer than other hybrids. He has succeeded in this, even though they are significantly more sensitive because genetic diversity is very small. But with knowledge and dedication, its plant has a very long lifespan compared to other hybrids.
Seeds are significantly more expensive
Experts in this field compare such seeds with Formula 1 cars because they are very expensive and difficult to produce. It takes five or more years to be made, along with various other investments, this makes the seed significantly more expensive. But it always pays off in the end.
Hybrids also exist in nature
Gohar revealed to us one secret, which is mostly known only to experts in the field of botany. Hybrids can also occur in nature if the two flowers are very close to each other. In this way, it can happen that the seed of one ends up on the other and in that way a hybrid is obtained in nature. Then, instead of botanists, bees and bugs perform the whole process. According to him, this is how we get beautiful specimens that we all admire in nature, but they are very rare because many factors need to coincide in order to get a hybrid in nature.
