Yeah, that's not right, unless the genes are all over the placem like you just keep crossing plant after plant after plant, I'm sure your genetics will be a little sideways.
Think of it in terms of breeding anything. Plants, humans, dogs. The objective is to select mating pairs with good genes so that the offspring will have similar genetic traits, but hopefully be a good mix of the two. And just like if 2 people have 20 kids, they're not all going to look exactly like their parents, but there will be a resemblance to the parents and each other. The genes are the similar, but the expression of those genes as well as the natural diversity is what gives you multiple pheno types, but again, they're all from the same gene pool.
Then again, there's always the anomaly where recessive genes meet recessive genes and unique traits come out. But even though, the genotype should be similar.
