Thanks for the replies guys. So I guess it basically comes down to a lot of trial and error. Hey well that's cool. I just always have these visions of grandeur with wide crosses but I feel like it could be a big waste of time. Any thought of having a little list of fertile OT's to help each other out?

Ex. Saltarello (fertile pod but not fertile pollen)
Silk Road (fertile pollen and infertile pod)

By the way I have no idea if either of these statements were true or not. Just example of how we could compile a list. If suggesting this stuff is out of bounds I apologize in advance. I'm just not sure of the "lily etiquette". I know some people are more than forthcoming with a lot of info and some are more guarded based on all the years and years of hard work they may have put in. I also realize that a potential problem would be assuming pollen or pod are infertile based on crosses involving another infertile partner.
