Mary, I consider myself an amateur but I do know that to get pollen to set
on a ventricosa would be nearly, if not impossible. Ventricosa is apomictic
and in simple terms pollinates itself from within. Maybe if Jim H. would
jump in here he could explain a little better. Even though we think we have
a hybrid from ventricosa, it still seems to carry with it the same traits as
the parent plant, if it is in fact a ventricosa seedling.
I don't believe even the bees pollinate ventricosa.
