Sometimes white seeds can germinate, but not these: there are no kernels inside. (I broke open all the darker ones and many of the white ones and all were empty inside.)

The BF pollen would have come from the same flush of flowers that supplied the pollen for knightii, around the same time, so it's unclear whether it's due to the quality of the pollen or something else, such as the unusual spate of cold and frosty nights we've had this winter--the greatest number of frosty nights since I moved here. I guess we'll know when the other pods start to mature, but I might not have the oversupply of seeds I anticipated!
