dellac said:Apart from one surviving seedling of my own, they're over for this season, but I'll be more alert to it next year. I took this pic today though; Spring Pink. The blooms are over but the ovaries look as though they may be swelling. Not so! They are like that from the start and stay that way. I tried with a half dozen pollens last year and got not a single seed.
