Cross-Pollinating On The Same Plant

19 years ago

I read that all Brugmansia, with the exception of B. arborea, are self-sterile. Does this mean that the entire plant has this characteristic, or is it from flower to flower? I have a suaveolens which has been pollinated in such a fashion that each stigma was dabbed with pollen from the other flowers. So far, only one out of three test subjects has fallen off of the plant. The corolla of the other two flowers have fallen off, but the flower stem still remains, and is quite green. This is indoors, without another brug around for miles, so I can be absolutely certain that there was no other pollinating agent.
