for my science project, i%26#039;m trying to get other peoples opinons on their ideas of this working or not. Will the two halves act as one seperate bulb and grow to exhibit the domaniant traits of each? Or will they not even grow, and push each half apart?
basically what i%26#039;m doing is, taking 2 species of bulbs, and cuting a single bulb in half. (one of each species) with this im taking these two different halves, twineing them together, and growing it like anyother bulb.
What i%26#039;m trying to figure out is; will this bulb grow? if so, will it grow into a whole different species? or will it not even grow?
If two flower bulbs from different species are cut in half, then twined together, will they grow into one?
Don%26#039;t know, but I do know that the concept you are talking about is known as %26quot;grafting%26quot; in the gardening world. Surf. Hope this helps
Reply:My guess is that the bulbs would die or be two different plants next to each other
Reply:I think you%26#039;ll ruin both bulbs, but it sounds like a good experiment.
Try using different proportions of the different bulbs, instead of doing all of them half and half. You may find that a certain part in the middle of the bulb determines what kind of flower will grow.
Also try two varieties of the same species--like two colors of tulips.
Reply:Great experiment. If they live through the cutting in half, I think you will have the 2 original plants you started out with. I wonder if one will bully out the other.
Reply:I think the answer is yes. you are splicing two species but what that new species will look like depends on the two indivisual speciesyahoo finance
