A little update for you, Sharon. I pollenated all 4 blooms on my one
stalk of "possibly" LADY MOHR this spring, and none of them took. I used
3 different pollen donors for each bloom - 12 total. On each bloom I
used pollen from my "not" SOLOMON'S SONG, a TB, and an MDB or SDB.
On the other hand, I pollenated each of the 2 blooms on my "not"
SOLOMON'S SONG similarly (except that the only AB pollen donor I had to
use was OYEZ, and I don't think there was actually any pollen on those
anthers). Both pollenizations took, but one of the pods dried up several
weeks later. The remaining pod is still developing.
So, based on what I think I understood from your earlier teachings, I am
now assuming my "possibly" LADY MOHR is a 1/4 bred and my "not" SOLOMON'S
SONG is a 1/2 bred. Does that sound like an accurate assessment?
