‘Laura Ford’ (aka “King Tut”) was the lucky recipient yesterday of pollen from my own OP seedling of ‘Mutabilis’, simply because “it was there” (Thanks, Ralph!) and I wanted to see if it’s pollen was fertile. The seedling did produce a hip last year with two small seeds in it. (They haven’t germinated yet.)
There may be ploidy issues, because LF could be 4n and my seedling is almost certainly 2n, but it’s worth a try! And who knows, a fertile triploid may result, right?

It aborted. Poop. I’ll try my own seedling in other combinations.
