I don't think that is possible...
AFAIK, unrelated genera cannot cross-pollinate. Only species in the same
genus, and sometimes not even then.

One is a monocot, the other is a dicot. They are not even in the same
family.

Where did you hear this?

Heard it yesterday, maybe?

I heard it from a friend at work here in Idaho who use to farm for a living.
When she told me, I scratched my head in disbelief. Others did some
scratchin' too when I asked them about it.

Well, looks like my corn will be getting a nice view of some big ol' flowers
then. Thanks to all.

No, no, no...you'd get corn flowers!



Penelope, corn and sunflowers *must* cross pollinate, because
cornflowers grow wild around here.

No, not 04/01. I had to think about that for a bit.
