This was my first year with Four Eyes, but I got four fans from Nicole DeVito that I won on the auction so they were very large and healthy. It was raining every day almost here for two months. Very very unusual for Texas, or my area of Texas. So lots of time I would put on pollen, just to have it washed back off. I usually always do early morning pollinating. Anyway I set several pods on it and most of them aborted. But I see that I sold two auctions of five seeds each of Four Eyes x Jane's Pink and Blue. I also sold four seeds of Four Eyes x Undefinable. And Undefinable was hard to use on lots of daylilies, it was picky. So I will see what it does next year, the fans are growing great now. So I think I got three pods total.
Heather Grace I no longer have, but it never set pods for me as well as the pollen didn't do anything for me either.
My best pod studs are Dragonfly Dawn, which will set a pod on almost every flower, and Orange Blossom Trail which will also set a pod on almost every flower. I did get several pods on OBT from Undefinable. Another good pod setter is Cutting Loose.
I get shade in my garden until about 10:00 am from crepe myrtles and then from the other side of the yard in the afternoon. I just have a city back yard garden. So the most sun mine get is about six hours but it is horribly hot all summer in north central Texas.
