We have phinx/hummingbird/owl moths that COULD and I guess did naturally pollinate Maya, but you have to have 2 different brug plants blooming to make a successful cross. I had possibly 2 other brugs blooming the same time as Maya, but I I understand that Maya is not a good one to carry a viable/growable seeds pod. So I guess I could use the Maya pollin to another brug and let that brug carry the pod?..so as to introduce the maya into the equation? The only sure way is to hand pollinate. I've never attempted that, but I'll educate myself this winter on how to do it.. here's one doing it's thing.. they were fun to watch
