Cobaea scandens yesterday. I have tried everything to pollinate the flowers without the help of bats. (They say the bats pollinate in native Mexico). We do have bats round here but they obviously found something better. Any ideas re pollination would be gratefully accepted. (I do have a few cuttings as backup which I hope to overwinter).

That's what I'd like to do Amy2 but pollinating the flowers isn't so easy. They're pollinated by bats naturally and as I said above, I've tried hand pollinating but the "pods" just shrivel up.
Thanks Hywel.

Saving the seed is a good idea as well Thorneyside.
