My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

MGs setting seed INDOORS?!

19 years ago

Yeah, yeah, I know your all probably getting tired of my MG stories...today I just have a silly question on pollination.

I have the MGs on my windowsill here at work.

I got 5 blooms a week or two ago.

The first bloom I deadheaded, and there's just an empty stump there.

The other 4 I left intact, and to ME, it looks like they are fattening up as though setting seed. (Did I post this somewhere already? I'm having a deja vu).

Is it possible for an indoor plant to set seed without any help from birds/bees? There's a few gnats flying around, but didn't think they would be of any benefit. Are these MGs REALLY setting seed?
