Dtps Purple Martin is probably pregnant!

[Mira-Claude]

A little recap for those not in my head...
Three nights ago I was going out of my mind with boredom. (Happens often, no worry.) So I was roaming the house after some cleaning and tidying and came across Dtps Purple Martin and another flowering Vadaceous. Boredom talking I decided to make a hybrid. Why, how and when did my mind thought it was a good idea, I do not know.
But the fact is that on 3 flowers I think on caught. The stem grew thicker, the flower paler and most importantly it did not drop!
I must now admit to have never given a lot of attention to post about pods before, because, well because I never thought I would do it... and now that it's done my mind is full of fantasies and I already have a name I want to give the hybrid... yes I went ahead THAT much. If it fails, I'll try that mix again!
I know the pod will take 6 to 9 months to be ready for flasking services. My question; how will I know it's ready?
Picture is blurry because of the low quality of the camera... sorry!

Have you read this thread? It's pretty awesome and it'll tell you a lot about seed pods and flasking. step by step...

Thank you so much!
Now the waiting game!
I'll wait a few weeks before I contact a flasking facility just to be sure it is indeed pregnant and coming along just fine! This is exciting!
