When your brug is full of growing pods, does that then slow down flower production as it does with roses? My GL is now covered with pods, known and unknown fathers! Now I am thinking that I rather have more flowers all summer than all these pods.

I can't believe I trusted my memory for anything! I had run out of name tags so I started using colored ribbon to differentiate which flower got what. I used gold ribbon first, then ran out and switched to silver for the same pollen. At sometime, I put white ribbon on also......and have no clue what that was supposed to represent. It may have been Maya.............maybe not! I have this tendency to grab an anther from one plant and start walking around with it in my hand pollinating indiscriminately. So much for my breeding program!
