Not in all cases. Plants that practice apomixy have seedlings identical to the
(single) parent. Most common example: dandelions. Many Rubus species are also
apomictic
I have no idea if any of the geophytes this mailing list focuses on are
apomictic, however. Perhaps the more botanically minded subscribers can
enlighten us?
