Lovely!! I love Kims and your first one is a winner for me for sure!! Then the one with Happy Happy is stunning.

congrats Michele!!!

I have a question: Is there some kind of reason it's harder to set seed on rebloom scapes? Or, am I just doing something wrong? I was getting around 50% pod setting. Then last week it dropped to about 25% and now for the last 3 days(which would have been pollenated a week ago) I'm getting 10%. Same plants, shade, light, maybe not quite as much water, it's been 3 weeks without rain and I'm sure this is a big influence but it shouldn't drop it that much since I watering every other day. Or does it??? Heat????? I've been finishing up with the temps still around 80. Today it was around 85 with the heat wave setting in full force here. I won't know how well, if any, pods set for about 5 days. I need some advise, maybe I just need to stop??? I know, I have more than enough, but I do have some late bloomers that I'd like to get a few pods on. Today, I collected pollen first(darn sweat bees are stealing all of it if I wait). I may just save the pollen and use some of it next Spring???
