Test Update for post # 666594, dated July 25th, 2014. reference photo taken July 25th.
Pictures below taken today of the unfertilized flower with the protected stigma show the maximum upturn of the style experienced since July 25th. At no time during the period did it achieve any greater upturn. The unfertilized pod also retained it's original posture throughout. In both photos, the unfertilized test bud is in the foreground. The fertilized test bud is in the center to the rear. Its pod is nearly twice as large and has moved from the original downward posture to horizontal, trending rapidly upward. In the photo its size appears equal to the test bud only because it is farther away from the camera. The style of the fertilized bud showed little if any change in upward orientation during the period. The expected or anticipated upturn never happened (with this plant).
I thought I should do a photo status now because this plant is showing a definite tendancy to abort unfertilized pods.
