Dear Charles I must have a lucky at least a good plant from Tony
Avent several years ago of H laevigata. Every year it produces 5-10
op pods on 20-30 scapes. Thus I agree with Ben Z that it is not a
very fertile pod parent. I got lucky this year with devon
green,happyness,june,shinning tot, and venusta pollen and collected 3
to 12 seeds from each one. It took over 100 pollination's to get the
above. Lets hope some of the seedlings are worthy. on the pollen
side the plant works much better with seeds from the following
blue canoe,bravo,first impression, flamboyant , galaxy,galaxy sagae,
hypolucea, lakeside knickknack, little wonder str,neat splash,temple
bells and yellow splash. can't wait to see those streakies looks like
it's a laevigata type year ........... just harvested the last of
these seeds yesterday thus my late reply. For the pollination
dates the earliest was 8-16 and the latest 9-7 and the
harvest date that ended with black seeds with the typical bump was
sunday 10-28. Ben we shall see about the fertility but those
dates indicate 7-10 weeks got to run later doug
