I have seen this on several cultivars this season.  Not necessarily
consistent here even on the same bloom.  It has been as frequent on the TBs
as on the ABs.  I daubed anyway.  But I can't tell you if the appendage made
any difference on setting a pod or not.

Texas Zone 7, USA - who has had such of long run of relatively few windy
days and ample cool weather, I'm wondering where I'm located much of the
time.  I'm sure to get a wake-up on that one of these days.
