Someone told me that I'd forgotten my camera at the computer store, and, lo! I have it back now, wheee.

Here's some of the damage I've been doing....

A table full...

These two are prolific! "Moonlight" (a double) on the left, and "Snow White" (a triple) on the right.

I guess I've gone over the top with this pollinating business. Maybe I'll go find a farmer to marry, so I'll have a field to grow these buggars. Oh, yes, in one of the photos, a pod is beginning to open. I wrapped a bit of sheer curtain around it, and will give it another day or two before I cut it and sort out the seeds. Some of the seeds are big and nice, some are shrivled and have no embrio. You can spot the bad seeds on the left. Do click on this photo to enlarge it, so you can see what I mean by bad seeds, empty, no embrio.
