This is a possible scenario because plants have the ability to cross-pollinate. Cross pollination is the process in which a flower gets pollinated with pollen from another kind of flower of the same species. Insects, wind, and human intervention can be contributing factors to such phenomenon and it is very common in the farming industry to produce viable produces for consumption.
