I grew some Pes Tigrids for Ron that turned out to be cleistogamic. We discovered that, when I kept getting so excited over a bud that kept getting bigger and bigger then one day popped out some seeds. Uh .. did I miss the flower?. It happened again and again and Ron finally determined it must be cleistogamic.
It was a slow day today and there was this Pes Tigridis bud. After my rousing success in unmasking Vigna Caracalla I felt cocky enough to take on Pes Tigridis's cleistogamic flower.
So here we are .. please note that the picture has had the contrast whomped way up for detail.

Well it was really ticking me off because it has such beautiful buds and I thought I was missing the flowers for the longest time.
