    Wouldn't you get a different colored and different Carrot because orange Carrots are Hybrids? From what I know if you plant a Hybrid seed you will not really get that same plant so Would you get an orange Carrot if you planted seed from an orange Carrot?

    Apparently orange Carrots are man made so orange Carrots are "hybrid". So what I am trying to figure is how do we still get orange carrots today?

    Are all orange carrots f1?

    Is this correct? > Insects pollinate the orange Carrots from the male part of the Carrot flower to the female part of that same Carrot flower and so you keep getting more orange Carrots from the creation of the hybrid orange Carrot
