No, it wasn't me. But I have cut the pistils back at times on a zigzag or if the pistils are too long, but have not had success even doing that.

I did read about the pistil juice and plan to try that in the future. It might have been Juli or Char?

I am interested to hear what anyone else has to say about Webster's Pink Wonder. I recently acquired that one because I saw that it had 81 registered children which appear to have come from the pollen not pod.

I just have to ask this question ....

Why such a desire to cross for pod instead of pollen to create seeds? What changes in the hybridizing from a seedling created from a pod vs. a seedling created from pollen?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
