I was taken by surprise when JOHN Ensminger, R. 1989, an IB produced a seed pod having believed that IB's were infertile

of the 10 seeds I got 4 seedlings that survived to bloom.  Two were worse than the pod parent and were quickly removed before anyone could see them but the two attached here are wonderful and remain.
