Though the grasshoppers ruined the pod, I set one on 'Lillian's Vapor Trail' by applying the pollen in late dusk the day before the bloom was an open bloom. The buds on it begin to open the day prior. I haven't attempted it subsequently, but have had zero success on trying the open blooms.

I think there may be others that do this. I have a couple of seedlings from 'LVT' pollen that also start opening the evening before bloom and 'Flat Face', a tet, also does it. If you were interested in getting a pod on one that does that, you might try it. It could have just been a one-off, but still might be worth the effort. Though the pod was ruined, it appeared to have formed reasonably good seeds at the point it died. Whether they were viable seeds isn't known, but from the appearance at the time I suspect they would have been fine. The trick is probably getting the pod on it.
