Another Lycoris question

The probabilities are lousy either way, but sometioems a triploid will lose
a set and the remainder will cross iwth the diploid of the other parent. .
You're right, I assumed that this is what he meant, but I'd appreciate his
comment, too. I think he was noting that he has NEVER gotten a pod to set
on Squamigera despite hundreds of tries. I've tried a few dozen times and
used a 2, 4-D assist (which helps in wide iris crosses) but, again, no
luck. . . Cheers, Adam

the same."

We'll have
