The Ecuador Pink and Frosty Pink brugs lose their calyxes soon after the pod starts to form. The only way I can tell if they are going to make it is if the penduncle stays green. These pods are completely different from the others, in fact, each variety's pod is different.
is the penduncle the thingie that connects the branch of the plant to the flower? i really need to learn the basis anatomy of a brug.

yes, that's it.
Great picture of a versicolor seedpod Calalilly! Thanks for posting.
Calalily, These pictures are great. It shows us new growers what to look for next year. Thanks.
Susie,
What did you cross the Ecuador Pink with? I just can't imagine any cross not being pretty. Especially with a parent like Ec. Pink. Wish I had that greenhouse so I could be doing this.

I used the only other thing I had blooming, Jutner Orange. Some of the smaller seed pods are Ecuador pink and suaveolens white.
Jutner Orange and Ecuador pink. Expect to have many Versicolor type flowers and the children to have very versicolor type flowers. You should get something similar to my Dr.D, but perhaps Darker peach. Heres hoping you get something much more spectacular though. I think such crosses make for potentially very fast hardy growing versicolor/candida types myself.
