Every flower on the c. dbl. White that I pollinated with EP did not produce a seed pod except for one which was knocked off the plant by a bird. I used Butterfly with this flower and the pod is about two in. long.Hoping it continues to grow.

Snow,
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Mine have been crossed Glory. I've got a few more I pollinated with Butterfly too but it's too soon to see if it worked.
Here's hoping it grows!!
Snow i am so happy for you!!!!! i look at my pods on PB and BF 8 times a day. seems like it took them a long time to start getting any size. only have 3 all together.
Arlene, I'm hoping so much that one of us can come up with a double pink. I know we are all trying our best.
I sure hope it works for you. I pollinated one last night with the little bit of Butterfly pollen that I had left. We had a wind storm this morning and a couple of my brugs were laid over in the pots. Lots some buds and a couple of pods. Nothing really important. Lost one from Pink Beauty, but I'm not sure it had taken anyway. Had just hung on there for a long time so I was hoping. Good luck with your seed pod.
Snow,guard that pod with your LIFE! Set up bear,squirrel,and bird traps,Alarm system,motion detectors!!!I'm so excited for you!
That is one I sure wish I had.There is still time here so it may happen yet.Good luck with yours.
I spread my one Butterfly flower as far as I could. I've got another flower open and more buds.So far I crossed Butterfly to Whiskers, DrD, EP,and c. dbl. white.
Snow sounds like some great seedlings to come if they grow..:-)
Snow, keep my fingers crossed for you!
posted on wrong thread, but question was would anything besides aurea do as the father

Another father will do it also. But avoid a pure suaveolens.
Looks like every time I come by a cross made by you snow I seem to have a tinge of jealousy. Hope they all take for you.
I'd been avoiding using the candida flore plena as a parent for anything. Wish I had now :-( I thought because it was white, it wouldn't give colored offspring.
