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,�
