Karen and cat.....
Early October it is! Just remember that I work on Sundays--
so it will have to be a Saturday...

Holly--
I had one of RRR Blushing Suzies in 2012 and it DOES make
seed pods--and I DID collect some seeds...
They were kind of low on the plant--maybe on the very oldest bloom sites?
Small, puffy, Jelly Bean--sized pods.
I DID seed them this last spring--and they came up--got a bit lanky
and all but one died. I nurtured it--gave it a wood skewer stick to
climb on--even made it survive (barely) until planting out time--
but it never made it....Too long in the seedling stage...too small a pot...
Whatever---but the seeds did germinate...

I don't know about the Hybrid thing...and I cannot tell you what it
would have looked like...

Here is the BS Vine from 2012--it did not bloom too well either...
Maybe not enough sun? I had it by the pole in the back yard...
where my Epis hang...Big Maple over it...
