All I know is that sometimes you get good seed pods by slipping the spent bloom off gently................it then takes quite a while before they start to turn brown and twisting..........you have to get them at the exact right time to get the wonderful seeds.........but i don't know anything about pollinating..............the big red strep I already have seeds from...............just curious to see what the blooms will look like...................you know they don't come true from seed i don't think..........just fun to see what you do get.............
Now Snow does all kind of pollination with episcias and streps i think..............I am not anywhere close to that.................i am just learning to get the seeds from the seed pods........let me take a picture to show you how big these pods are from the variegated one.............
