Something else to consider is that there have been very few hybrids done where hamata is the female parent. Reversing a cross such as ventricosa x hamata, for example, could give valuable insight into what differences there are between having the hamata being the male or female parent. Who knows the results could even be more than "mediocre". At any rate, any sort of hamata hybrid would translate into a boat-load of cash for you.
I'm not interested in letting potential financial gain motivate me to make a hybrid I don't care about. I gotta be interested in the results to be bothered doing it. I've got a male N. ovata in bloom right now and a male N. boschiana as well. The latter is something I am considering using. We all know what great progeny boschiana makes
