I was able to get a couple of photos of the pollen sacs inside it's flower, bugs have been all over them so hopefully I will get seeds. |

This is the second time this purp has flowered this year and no I didn't pollinate it maybe nature did, the first flower didn't survive the aphid attack that got to all my plants, some are still suffering from it, mostly the hybrids, deformed leaves, incomplete pitchers so to see it do this again I just wanted to leave it alone and water it.

Nice, here is a tip. Squezze the ovary, and if it is soft and squishy, then it will not have a good seed set, or none at all, and if it was hard, you will have a good seed set.

it is fine swt754, you should see the plants when they have petals, i think they look better with petales.
