You're right... the Lc Netrasiri should be "Fireball." I just bought the same cross you have, and mine was spelled Lc Netrasiri 'Faiball' x Thihty 'Casen's Choice'. I can't find a picture of Thihty...

I'm not exactly sure of the mechanics of it, but anything above 4n seems to be pretty unstable. With that many chromosomes attempting to pair up, a lot can go wrong. I think Rob addressed the...
