This is definitely true in my tazetta narcissus, with the less fertile
types (generally triploids like Grand Monarque) it is almost pointless to
pollinate on established bulbs. only newly planted (uncrowded) are at all
fertile. On the very fertile diploid types like Autumn Colors or Paperwhites I
get seeds either way, so will have to observe if there is a dfference in
quantity . But there sure is on any of those that are only marginally fertile
due to genetic issues.

PS do you have freesia alba form Burtonii?
