Re: Re: [SpaceAgeRobin] solar fire

Thanks for the pollen report Donald.  The weather could be a reason the 
pollen is messed up here.  It went from frosts last week to 80's this 
week.  Crazy, crazy weather! I'm sure it had an effect.
  I already dobbed But beautiful on that yellow seedling.  I'll keep an eye 
on later flowers of Solar fire, and check for pollen.  Still have buds left on 
it and that seedling (SA0205), so I'll have another chance.  Good idea.

Will,

Great capture on the color of SOLAR FIRE.  That's accurate for how it grew
here.  The early blooms had pollen, but after that not too much.  It was a
bad year for pollen here on most everything.  Weather related, I expect.
Sometimes a bloom would have two good stamens and one poor or obviously bad
one.  SF had enough good ones for me to believe that it generally will
produce pollen.  There are two puny pods using SF on the T'bird seedling,
but I expect they'll fall off at some point.  Still no rain here and plants
will take the necessary steps to survive and that's not likely to include
doubtful pods.  SF, on the other hand, has some reasonable pods via the
T'bird seedling.  So does EAGLE CONTROL and maybe one on CONJURATION.  The
pollen looked pitiful, but seemingly worked anyway.  It's a long wait 'til I
see a mature pod, though.

I hope you tried some SF pollen on that yellow seedling!
