Sandi, what an interesting idea! I've never heard that advice before--thank you!
I am finding Jim's Pick to be a difficult pod parent and a somewhat difficult pollen parent, mostly because Jim's Pick's pollen seems to get soggier and not dry out as fast as other pollen after a rain or watering. It's strange. I will try your advice about the pistil juice from another flower though because Jim blooms when he wants to bloom, and it's always either wet or HOT.
But if a bit of pistil juice will make him behave more, that's what I'll do!
