Hello Jens,

Well, hybrids within a given species should indeed be fertile. No,
there is only one clone D. cv. 'California Sunset'. You can make more
of these by taking leaf cuttings from your plant(s). The seedlings
are just _D. * californica_. Some will look more like tracyi while
others will look more like filiformis.
