This seems to be the perfect stage to pollinate just about any brug (except Harenhauser). I've had almost 100% by pollinating at this stage. I can't bear to cut the corolla, so I just pry it open with one hand and apply the pollen with the other. It's taken a little practice since I'm not the most coordinated person.
i love jean pasco. i mean really love. fat and round, fading color.
I'm glad you posted these. I would have waited until they were fully open.
Cala, she is one of my favorites too. What are you pollinating her with? Do you get much of a change in color if you put pollen from a lighter yellow to JP? My JP that was pollinated by the moth was pollinated with Shirley's Peach and it turned out white in the end. Strange how that could happen. I've got a lot to learn so keep on teaching.
I used Frosty Pink. No special reason.
