This cross-pollination thing is like the flashbacks I was promised if I
just ate those little pills: never have seen the results.
My dear departed ma' used to claim she had mangoes cross-pollinated with
hots once and the bells were hot. I dunno. I grow mexibells every now
and then and have never been sure if they were hot or not. It takes a
bit up the scale before I really am sure about heat.
