Not in all cases. Plants that practice apomixy have seedlings identical to the 
(single) parent. Most common example: dandelions. Many Rubus species are also 
apomictic

I have no idea if any of the geophytes this mailing list focuses on are 
apomictic, however. Perhaps the more botanically minded subscribers can 
enlighten us?
