We harvested a lot of lemons from my FIL's big Ponderosa lemon tree.

The normal lemons are huge and bumpy and we love them as they are super juicy. However this year I noticed that while the majority are still showing the normal huge and bumpy, others are smooth and orangey. And when we tasted one of the fruits, still super juicy with slight tartness but definitely not as sour as the big bumpy ones and with hint of sweetness. My FIL's neighbor has a huge orange tree also loaded with fruits. Is it possible that the lemon blooms got crossed with oranges pollens. And if I plant the seeds, will these produce new varieties?

Top one are the big and bumpy, the smaller:
