All natural pygmy hybrids are sterile and reproduced through gemmae. A clue to see if a pygmy is a hybrid is check the flower for red stigma, which it get from it's nitidula parent.
Woah, what a long name. Thanks for the info again, Khoas. Appreciated.
I'll check tomorrow if it has a red stigma. If this pygmy hybrid is sterile, meaning I will get seeds, yay!
