The first picture on the left has a rather smooth, filled-in bloom, but there is quite a bit of variation in the individual tubular petals. The second picture shows a tubular with a bloom that is not tightly filled with petals. There is quite a bit of "air" between the petals, but unfortunately there is not much flare-out at the petal ends. It's still raining here. Looks like we may get a decent amount of moisture out of this. So, Lucy, I know how it is to be too busy to do as much pollination as you would like. It's a good thing we have those bees to fill in for us. Unfortunately, the bees don't keep could records. (grin) ZM |
