Betty and John, my one attempt at hybridizing flopped this year, but I
have several surprise bee pods, so I also plan to plant them as soon as
they ripen. Again this year, of the seeds I planted in 1997, only 4 came
up, so I am eager for a bit better percentage of germination! To that
end I am going take time to unearth them from their singular little
cells and put all of one cross together snuggily in one pot so they'll
be happy and sprout next year! (I hope) Cheers, Barb
