So far, Iīm happy with what the first couple of pollinations look like, these little buggers could indeed become the keepers. Even though the shape of the 1539 isnīt perfectly perfect (would like to see a blossom end which is a bit more pointy, like in case of the 1965), there should be about 6 or 7 days between this fruit and the next female down the main vine (which, if itīs genetics, might develop a similar shape). Anyway, itīs time to find some names for the babies. For the 701* x self and the 458* x 701* itīs pretty easy, they will inherit their mothersī names and will be "Elphaba 2" and "Little Sister 2", respectively. The other two will, hopefully, do some miracles, too, and since the plant of the 1539 is aggressive as if it wanted to fly, whereas I can only susspect that the power of the 1965 plant is diving down toward the roots, the 1539 x self and the 1965 x 1539 will be "Angel" and "Mermaid", respectively. (Time will tell if their final color will also reflect this difference...with a touch of blue in Mermaid and pronounced white with maybe a touch of pink in Angel).
