I look forward to the learning about the contents of your two seed pods. If I were trying to get seed from Tiger Babies I would try tetraploid trumpet or tetraploid Asiatic as pollen parents.


I was hoping landini worked cause of the cool color and being asiatic but guess not. Could it be embryos existed and died out? If I recall embryo rescue is taking them out early on to grow before pod turns brown. Growing a pod with infertile seeds makes no sense biologically so mabye it would of worked if embryo rescue was used , however it's just too complex for me to do.
