Hi Carl and All,

In growing VFTs for almost 30 years, I have yet to be able to self
fertilize this species. I've read reports on this list of others that
did, but have no idea how they would have done it without using
colchcine or some other chromosome doubling method. It has always
required two genetically seperate individual flowers to produce seed for
me....just my own experience here.

Take care,

Doug
