So the 'papilio' x 'emerald' pod is a little browner and the slit is possibly a millimeter longer. Sigh. An internet friend tells me that these pods often take 60 days from pollination to maturity. This one was fertilized on February 25, which means it has gone 51 days so far. Nothing to do but wait, I suppose, and feed the plant every two weeks.

'Apple blossom' x 'gervase' appears to be ripening apace. It may pop open before the other one does, and it was pollinated on March 7.

I have one hugely pregnant daffodil and four that aren't too far behind. I took two of the fancy ones and mashed their sexy bits against one another. Who knows what I'll get?

No apparent change on the Nopalxochia. It's a sorry little cutting but no worse-looking than last week. Keeping fingers crossed.

My maple grove is doing very well on my windowsill. I have whispered to them that I will find them all good homes, and I think they listened.

Weather Underground says it's 81F already. I'm going to love riding to the PathMark.
