I have finally reached the 6 - 8 weeks for seed ripening. Today it was 21 seeds of Crystal Blue Persuasion × Emmaus. The pods on Dragonfly Dawn and Whale Tales are enormous, and should start cracking open any day.
I hope you put little foil caps on them after you dabbed on the pollen. I use a 1" square piece that I roll around a bamboo skewer, and then put it over the stamen. That keeps it dry and a little warmer so germination can take place.

Ooooo nice crosses, wonder if you'll get a huge spider with a fancy eye, that's what I'd like to produce I think love eyes and love spders, been waiting for a lot of my minis to start so I can try them with Apple Swirl which is flowering its socks off.
Bu@@@@ I forgot the foil caps!! I'm still a novice Wylie ;-), oh well try again tomorrow no crosses today it rained early on so no good pollen, another stupid thing I did tried to cross Apple Swirl with Get Jiggy that's never gonna work is it!!! Lol.

I have been using Crystal Blue Persuasion, Wee Wizard, and Blue Oasis as pod parents; Watchyl Lavender Blue, Emmaus, Apple Swirl, and Lois Burns for pollen to get the eyed DIP spiders. Also I am trying for a spider or cascade type out of Trahlyta. Next years DIPs will involve Yabba Dabba Doo, UFO, and [(YDD × Willow) that I posted the other day]; to CBP and Wee Wizard.
