I thought I would post photo of some of the Brugs that bloomed for me this fall and winter and of their pods. You'll notice that pod shapes vary. The shape is determined by the pod parent and to which Breeding History Set she belongs. Breeding History Set is simply her genetic make-up, that is which species are represented in her.

Dorthea has the most pods — 5. Three are crosses I made with Jacayna. The other 2 were pollinated by moths. So I don't know who the pollen parent is. The pods are big and fat. Dorthea came from an (Ecuador Pink x Rubirosa) X (Ecuador Pink x Rubirosa) cross. Her Breeding Set is candida (name given to an aurea x versicolor cross). Candida pod shapes can vary somewhat. Right now the pods are 5-1/4 months old, still green and growing. I'm sure development had slowed down because of winter.
