Re: Spec.X question

Thanks Robert. I have a pod on Chance Beauty from Purple Smoke pollen,
also a pod on Purple Smoke from LA. Cherry Cup pollen.

Something else that might be up your alley, I found wild Blue eyed
grass growing around Wichita, Ks. , both blue and white colored ones.

There have been several croses reported by just a couple of
hybridizers to be spuria and louisiana crosses. It seems that all were
questioned in their time. Certainly it seems possible to do this cross
but apparently the success rate has been quite low and is still
unconvincing. If a tetraploid pseudacorus were used with a tetraploid
spuria or louisiana the chances would seem to be improved and a new
fertile family would be created but I don't believe anyone has ever
reported trying this. Good Luck.
