Amy, here is a re-post of my question and Meum's answer:
In a message dated 98-02-22 01:26:34 EST, you write:
<< that T&M has seed this year so may try again-they were striking
(but expensive). Had to look up cleistogamous in Hort III - thanks for
the new word :) "with pollination (self-pollination) effected in the
unexpanded, closed flower." Not that I had the plants long enough to
notice, but in case I do try again- how would I go about finding this
out? Does this mean that if isolated without any pollinator, there
would still be viable seed set?
>>
Cleistogamous flowers are usalu produced after the showy flowers are
fininished.
In some species the flower ar on stems that grow about half as high as
the leaves.
Others Have the flowers right at the soil serface or just underground.
The flower is green and round and deveolps into a pod.
Yes the plants if grown all by them selves will deveolpe viaible seeds.
And they should be the same as the mother plant.
I do not have a problem with slugs in my growing area- only next to the
woods.
so thanks for the slug advice!
I think I will plant some in my new rock garden- at the bottom of coarse
so
that i am not swamped with seedlings. My yard has not one little slimmy
stinker of a slug- thank God.
