Yes, I could wait to check on this pod so I peaked....notice the patch on the pod. This pod was pollinated with E.Pink.
Since I took this picture I have pick the pod and it is now drying.

OHHH how exciting!
Hiya Glory, You're so lucky to have Species! It'll make a great mother!
Best of luck,
Bruno
Boy Glory...........that cross should be good!!! The anticipation alone is worth alot! What fun!
Beautiful! You have it all, should be a good cross.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you Glory.
Wow, Glory,
I wish you all luck on earth. Happy you. Wished I could get some seeds...lol.
Sow soon...we need pictures.
Sounds like it has great possibilities Gloria. Hope you get a few really nice ones from your pod.
Got my fingers crossed for you to get that double pink.
WOW!Nice,Good Luck with it!
Best luck, Gloria!
I hope you get some great ones out of this cross (o:
Way to go! Keeping fingers crossed.
How is Species different from Knighti? I like this one much better than my c. Dbl. White.
Glory congratulations, now lets hope that you get the first north american double pink!

Snow,
I don't know what the difference is my Knightii died.
Mine too, think spidermites like it better than Species?
Do not think I will be rying Knightii again.
Thanks. I guess by the sound of it I'll be better off hunting up a Species. I bought one last year and it wound up being a M&H when it flowered.
It has pretty flowers. Keep my fingers crossed for you.
On your species Glory, on all the buds, do all the inner blooms drop like in your picture?

Kell,
Yes...the inner flower drops. Once in a while I'll have three skirts on it. Species does super this time of the year in my neck of the wood...not to hot or to cold.
Here is a close up of one of the flowers.

Kell,
Here is another picture..notice the slits in the flowers from pollination and tags hanging from the flowers.
Snow...I'm rooting a few Species cuttings in gel packs right now. Their roots are just about ready for potting up in soil. If you want...you are welcome to them as soon as we warm up around here.

All I can say is pollinate pollinate pollinate! LOL With your history, you have the pollination touch!!!
thanks Glory!
An old friend of yours mentioned you to me the other day........you evidently told her I reminded you of her when I was new.........................
Renee, you've got mail.
What a beauty. Definitely on my wish list. Anybody got a cutting, or I would love to be put on a list for later.
I've heard Knightii throws out some very nice hybrids....If memory serves me the guys at Native Habitat used her a bit. I'd like to experiment with this one myself a bit as its a wild hybrid...never know what you might get.
