Take a few grains of salt with this statement. If the species are planted
near other species of the same genera, you could get interspecies crosses,
which would then of course not be true.
We have also been shown lately in the daffodil community slides of species in
the wild. In groups of the same species there is sometimes a wide variation
in form in color in that group. And some can be quite ugly ducklings. I
have no reason to believe this would not be true of other genera.
