What is the background on the aureum?
I'm guessing the tipo is from Florida?

Yep, 3N plants aren't sterile. They just need other 3N plants to breed with to obtain progeny. |

I have asked Kyle to answer on the aurea. The 4N is from Ruben in FL.
I will probably self it, as it is worth it. I might also use it to pollinate one of my yellow Catts (I love spotted yellows).
