To cross, or not to cross?

As all you folks know ad nauseum, I have some E.obesa.
I also have a meloformis (Mel, hehe) who has today decided to pop out stigmas from what seemed to be sleeping winder buds that had not moved for a month. So she is a girl after all.. I suspected this as she had dead girl flowers and seed husks in her soil when I repotted her.
And since I have a boy obesa (little Y), should I try the obvious?
I'm wondering if they are similar enough to produce seeds, I guess eg. a very different sort of Euphorbia pollen would not be recognised by the ovaries as DNA...?
Has anyone here tried crossing the very succulent Euphorbias?
