Crinophone ... is it possible?

I have this urge to play Frankenstein ... even with my limited knowlege.  Earlier this year, I completely covered the sticky end of the stigma(s) on my Crinum asiaticum with Boophone disticha pollen.  I repeated this effort over several days in addition to removing the Crinum stamens asap.  I've got 7 swelling capsules, which seem fairly firm, but smaller than in previous years.  Is such a cross even possible?  Are these likely just apomictic seed?
