Shaun good point! I don't know what to view "selfing" I don't think its
neither good nor bad.......I sure and hell don't know.........as I don't
think its been carried out much into the 3rd generations to see if it works.
I sometimes veiw open pollinated as being selfed. Seems that in the morning
bees cruise from flower to flower on the same plant. I would imagine that
once a pollen grain is placed on the stamens that the pollenation of that
hair is complete.......Mb
