Cindy, I too, believed there wasn't much point trying. I wrote to Barry Blyth, re fertility, in the IB MAGIC CHILD, and his response was "Try it for yourself". So I did. I got 7 pods from one clump, crossed to IB's and TB's. They are definitely viable seeds, as some are putting down roots already. I'll let you know how these go.
Cheers, Jan Clark
