Re: big seed pod and much mystery


I forgot to mention that if you didn't make the cross yourself to 
produce your big seed pod, a bee must have.  Apparently their fur 
rubs against the pollen of one flower and they carry it to the next 
and get it on that stigmatic lip -- often more effectively than we 
do, it sometimes appears.  Chalk up another to Mother Nature!
