I feel lucky! I like excitement, anticipation is life itself!

If it does make seed I won't know what they are until grown to flowering, and if they turn out to be philly then that will 'only' be 2 years. Perhaps I should help it with it's own pollen just in case!

Just thinking, if both pollens are present they may get to work and hybridise the pollen then fertilise the flower, who knows? Probably not 'scientifically' possible, but science knows only what man has learnt. Nature has been hybridising forever, natural crosses, evolution. If man doesn't understand it then according to man it doesn't exist.

I go with nature and 'her' endless possibilities. She is tough.

Just caught that drip! There was an inspirational explosion, brainstorming, the drip landed and splattered to all corners of my mind!
