BUTTERSCOTCH WINE
Diploid means having two sets of chromosomes to the cell.
Tetraploid has double that or 4 sets of chromosomes to the cell.
Simply layman terms, but that is how my head works! Sorry.
Basic
understanding for me is that the tetraploid variety of plant is much
larger, bigger blooms, hopefully stronger and more resistant,
although
that isn't always true. The tetraploid iris is large
enough that a
common bubblebee can no longer pollinate it. The
bloom is to large
for the bee to transfer pollen in it's normal
functions. Hence, most
tetraploid iris do not self pollinate!
Now the pros will probably laugh at
this explanation! But it is all
I got! Have a great day
Linda
