Yes, followers of different species can pollinate each other, a process known as interspecific pollination. This occurs when pollen from one species is transferred to the stigma of another species, potentially leading to hybridization. However, successful fertilization and seed production depend on the compatibility of the species involved. In many cases, plants have evolved mechanisms to encourage or prevent such cross-pollination to maintain species integrity.

Can different fruit trees pollinate each other?
Yes, different fruit trees can pollinate each other as long as they are compatible species and bloom at the same time. Cross-pollination between different fruit tree varieties can result in the production of hybrid fruits with unique characteristics.

If you want to pollinate the flower yourself simply use a swab, if there are other water lilies nearby the plant may be contaminated by the other species and cross pollinate which will give you seeds of a new plant. Visit water garden blogs to see how to correctly pollinate plants to prevent cross pollination. You can also divide the water lilies tuber or invest in tissue cultures which will give you the correct species.
Is it only bees that pollinate?
No, bees are not the only pollinators. Other insects such as butterflies, beetles, and flies also play a crucial role in pollination. Additionally, some birds and bats are pollinators for certain plant species.
