Patch in fine shape, the 1684 is heading east (in the back of photo) with 5 set kins on secondaries pollinated from the 2015 – (growing main tip burned off during heat wave 2 weeks ago) and the 2015 coming to us heading west, with 2 set self-pollinated on main at 13 and 17’ and the main candidate female at 21 feet – should open in 2-3 days. The 2015 has had monster female inners – and big, beautiful pedals. The 1684 not so much. The set kins on the 1684 looking at bit irregular – longish with prominent indented longitudinal ribs. Maybe because they're all crossed with the 2015 and their DNA doesn’t talk the same language. Will self-pollinate all future 1684 females.
Burying secondaries at feverish pace – astounding how much they grow in 48 hours – a matter of feet!
