Gentleman's Lady - This lady has refused to set pod. Look at all of those bud scars. There should be pods at all of them.

Elmore James - FFO today

Hi Ed!

You're late today. I've been checking all day to see what was blooming in NS. I was starting to get worried. :)

Fantastic photos but I haven't seen anything yet that beats Cloud Forest. I'm a dip-lover... and what a pretty bloom. Happy to see there are still some buds left for new photos.

Re Gentleman's Lady - try to cross with a close relative... do you have Ed Brown or any of the plants in her background? If not, try a 'self' test. Sometimes, once you get one pod on (even if you don't want it) then the rest follow willingly.

Actually I was using Belle Cook which is Ed Brown X Seminole Wind.

Hmmm... that blows the theory about the 'close' relative cross working... or maybe its just 'that' relative? You could still try the selfing.

Then there's always the LFO catching. I don't know what it is about that last flower but after giving it one... last... shot... the darn thing catches. Go figure!

You have lots of really nice whites. The others are great, too!

Love Elmore James and Cloud Forest is awesome still.

Edward, I like your seedlings. The ones that made the cut and the one you are sending to your sister...Ellie
