Well the day has finally come. First pollination attempt for 2008 - 1068 Papez bloom - selfed. Crazy thing at 6 to 6:25 a.m. (fertilizing time) flower not open. Went inside for a quick shower & prep for work. Figured I'd take a quick look again before leaving at 7:30 a.m. and look what I found. This one may not make it seeing it's two nodes down from the partial stem break on the main. However the main is still growing strong with another candidate two nodes up from this one. Also pollinated one on the 1200 Est. Checkon this morning (not pictured). It was on a secondary vine but also was closed before coming back out this morning. I also selfed this bloom as well. Checkon female on the main should be ready tomorrow. Some issues on the main with the flowers not opening, we'll see...
