It would be reasonable to try all the possible crosses between these
species and expect fertile seeds. I would try them every which way. It
is unlikely that you would get "pure" versicolor if it is in fact a
species that originated from one, chance, cross in the wild. It might,
however, been the result of a number of crosses which has given a vary
variable "species complex". Such crosses may well be going on all the
time.
Ian, in Ottawa where the night-time cold has meant that we have only
reticulata and danfordiae.
