Hybrids of different narcissus species can be fertile by generating unreduced pollen
In this spring I found many plants of intersectional diploid narcissus hybrids in Spain which were fertile by generating unreduced pollen. This may be of great interest for daffodil hybridizers and plant breeding in general. More information you find on www.theo-sanders-daffodils.de.…
