Nice,
I am trying my hand at seeds, and bulbils this year. The crosses I am eager to see is Lollypop http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/48959/index.html and my unknowns yellow, orange, or maroon (pic below). Maroon did quite well but the other two didn't provide very many seeds. Not sure if they are not compatible or if it was my technique. I had a pod that I picked that wasn't open and the seeds started to germinate right in the pod becuase of the moisture.

Two questions,
1. How important is coating the seeds with fungicide such as Captan?
2. When pollinating does the stigma need to mature before pollination works? Are they open and ready for pollen right after flower opens?

Good day
