Could someone please take a picture of some brug seed capsules because I have never thought of growing them from seed before now.... and have run around with my brush playing "birds and bees"....it is mid Spring here so I have time for them to ripen but I don't know what to look for....the ones I "helped" have a little green pointy thing where the flower used to be....like a little green bullet
1) are those things there even if the flower is not pollinated?

2) do they grow bigger?

3) they are about 1/2 inch long....I only pollinated them about 8 days ago

4) If they are how will I know when they are ripe?

Any tips or hints would be most appreciated.

It was Grande Marnier x white Suaveolens......I have plenty of cuttings but after seeing all the different ones available over there I am anxious to try some crosses. Do you think I am wasting my time crossing these two?
thankyou chrissy
