Here's that fantastic pollinator and all-around great grower, the 839 Sandercock;
Early-on, this promiscuous plant had three open pollinations ongoing before I caught up to her!
'Whooooaaaahhh, Nellyyy!!!';
Ahem.
I could not believe the frequency of male flowers as well. Looking back, I dunno why I did not pollinate with it MORE frequently.
I guess three on my 206.1 were adequate, and my own seeds I think I simply wanted to self the first time around.
839 Was like 'Awww???'.
Pheewww...You shoulda heard what that plant said to me. I'm still afraid to nap near the patch!!!
Lawn chair broke yesterday and I'm lucky to still be sort-of upright, lol.
The cross here is (X 1541.5 McMIllin) and its estimated weight is 373.4 pounds.
Please note that this is one that started growing again once I got back in the groove with the ferts - kinda bulgy! eg
