Well,i know that the flower develope (receptive to pollen) at different rate from lower to upper spike,but from my own observation off pass experience,i notice that the seeds pod will only start to develope once the last flower has bloom.So this would made the pods swell at about the same size.A remarks on my pass experience is that i only made a single hybrid,that is using only 1 nep sp pollen.As this is my 1st time doing a multiple hybrid,it's a new experience/observation seeing the pods swell at a different size for a different nep sp pollen.

Well,maybe that's true.Because my 1st seed batch was N.mirabilis X N.xmiranda and i've give it away to some PP members.But i got a reply 3weeks ago that none of the seeds germinate.Not sure yet if the seeds is sterile or gone bad...
Hehehe....need to wait for the seeds pod to mature 1st lo....i'll update this thread went the seeds are ready for me to give it away
