I'm gonna try my hand for the 1st time at saving seeds for next year, I've read up on the principles but am I right in thinking that the female has a bulbous before pollination. I have checked all the females which have a bulbous part but their leaves are tight shut & have chosen, hand pollinated and marked one for saving. I was unsure if they had this swelling before they were pollinated. As always advice greatfully received.

Lots of advice here BM How To Save Your Own Seed at Home
I think the male and female flowers underparts look different from the every first moment they are born!! -
What she said!
The females have the swelling before they are fertilised.
Hope the seed saving goes well - will be hoping for an update next spring! : )Comment

Cheers VC, that's where I got the info from but was unsure if the females had already been pollinated and the flowers had closed themselves up.Originally posted by veggiechicken View Postsigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”
