Nice job!

The seeds I sent you were L. davidii var. willmottiae x something unknown (open pollinated). I only had one L. davidii clone at the time, and I doubt the species is self-fertile. Your pics do show characteristic evidence of crossing outside the species. We can rule out apomixis, because none you show are exact copies. For comparison, this is the pod parent of your seed, Øystein.



Now that I have more than on blooming L. davidii clone, I have hand pollinated them and have three pods developing that will be pure L. davidii.
