Fred, thanks so much for your feedback! (And I mean that sincerely!)
Another way of asking the question: do individual seeds in a single chamber of a seed pod have an identical genetic makeup contributed from the pod parent? My understanding (which perhaps is wrong) is that each seed in the chamber will have a different grain of pollen that helped create the individual seeds. But, is the pod parent’s genetic contribution the same for all of the seeds in that single chamber? Or is the pod parent’s genetic contribution just as random as the pollen parent’s?
For my part, I’m just trying to figure out how a daylily seed is created. I have read the literature, but I’m still confused, unfortunately.
All the best – Elizabete
