Hey guys,
I'm trying to get a handle on the "rules" of Sarr pollination. I looked around and I can't find answers to these questions.
I read that you can't self-pollinate or use genetically identical plants (dividions or TC clones), but can you cross pollinate any other Sarracenia and expect to get seed?
Does it get very hit or miss when trying to cross pollinate using hybrids (as opposed to non-hybrids), or is this usually successful as well? E.g. I'm curious if I can cross pollinate my S. x catesbaei (pupurea x flava natural hybrid) with my Judith Hindle.
Lastly, are there many hybrids that don't flower, or flower but will never set seed?
