The pod is looking close to maturity, the outer skin feels loose. We have had 4 days of fog and frost around freezing point, today I don't think got above freezing but last night probably -4C, tonight the same.

This doesn't seem to have harmed it all, probably has primed the seed for growth.

While it's looking OK I think it is best to leave it on the plant until the last possible moment I can. If it starts to look wet and soggy then I will remove it but at the moment it looks and feels dry.

If this species of lily is self incompatible, as there was no other lily open at the same time and if it is not a hybrid (it doesn't look like the typical philipinnense), does this mean it has been pollinated by gloriowhatsits? If there happens to be some other species in it, i.e. a cross, the chances of it working have to be high don't they ?

I can't wait to see the seeds! That finger always seems to end up in the picture too!
