Yes! That has happened to me. I noticed that when my reds are selfed or cross-pollinated with another red, their pods are always huge and 'puffy'. But when I used the pollen of a pink/white on the reds, the pods were much smaller and very taut-looking, all shiny smooth like it was going to burst before it had a chance to develop. It was so weird to see how different the pods looked even though they were developing on the very same stalks!

The most epic differential appearance...
From Seed Pods on H.papilio, when I pollinated with presumable TET namely ("Donau" x "Ambiance").
The respective two seed pods had not only been rather high towers as compared to the common globular specimens, but the seeds foils were rather long and pointed. From these, I obtained "PapDonAmb" which behaves like a DIP in the ways that H.papilio does: When I pollinate with TET, then Seed in Ambundance will be produced, with a low percentage of VIABLE seeds.

If you pollinate H.papilio with TET, and IF you receive SOME viable seeds from then YET the likelihood is IMHO high that you will obtain TET specimens. This is an important issue: TETs are generally very fertile, and can be as easily introduced in breeding programs with other TETs.

Sir Hans...I studied 7 bulbs of Donau in 2008. Based on my results, I will not consider Donau as a tetraploid as it accepts tetraploid pollens, some diploid pollens and some triploid pollens. I call it one of the "universal" ones.
Ambiance is definitely not a tetraploid and leaning more to being a triploid for me based on my results.

This explains quite much! Thank you, Maria!

Really fun discussion and great pics. Thanks for all of the neat information, discussion and eye candy. Great luck with your pods, seeds, and any resulting plants, Donna!

Take care all,
Grant
