No tags without nice pods, but a couple pods with blank tags. And two pods without tags at all, but I've got a pretty good idea what those are. The next hurdle is to see if I get good seed. I've got 31pods but most of them have a long way to go before they get ripe. Usually the last 10 days of October is the busy seed picking time here. Looking back at my pollination schedule that I made out last winter, I see I only made crosses on about half of those I had originally planned to make for various reasons; the biggest of which was how impressed I was over the two new hybrids originating from Len Sherman that he named Taos and Whiskey Creek (Trumpet-Aurelian). I have 9 crosses alone on a few of each of these two, including pollen from highly fertile Serena Green and George C. Creelman crosses. Pollen from Taos and Whiskey Creek accounted for 7 more crosses with other Trumpet-Aurelian hybrids of mine. My original planned list had 40 crosses on it. Somewhere between 30 and 40 crosses a year works out about right for my set up and the way I do things around here. Smiling
