Several hybridizers have mentioned rather different results on the same cross
repeated from one year to another. Modern evolutionary thought points out that
the environment not only works on the entire plant to select those with the
greatest survivability, it also works on the plant parts, in this case the
pollen and the ova. This has a number of implications. A cross make in one
part of the world may give different results from the same cross made in
another.

And, it is also possible that the bees have been busy somewhere. Not
necessarily disagreeing, just adding an alternate theory to the possibility
puddle.
