When I first had a few Dr. Seuss blooms I didnt have any seed pods. Do they not ALL make pods ?
no seed pods ?
You need another kind of flowering brug there, near it. Then you or a moth or bee needs to pollinate the Whisker's flower with the other ones pollen. Cross pollinate. Then it has to take!
I have a Rosamond this year that is so full of pods from insects. This is very unusal for me. I usually only get them if I do the cross pollinating myself.
Thanks Kell, if my Frosty Pink bloomed at the same time would they cross?
I dont intend to save seed, I am just curious. I'm having enough trouble at this time just learning how to grow the basics :)
Yes, Charlotte. I believe that Dr. Seuss X Frosty Pink are the proud parents of Charles Grimaldi and Janet Reno. I have a Frosty Pink X Dr. Seuss pod that's still in the growing stage...
If you do get a pod, I'm sure you'll have takers for the seeds if you offer 'em here :)
Good luck!!!
