I've been trying to do some selective breeding a land race with Italian red pear tomatoes. Specifically trying for larger tomatoes, but also mutant flowers. It seems to be working. This generation already shows 3 plants with mutated flowers. However, if they will produce anything i still unknown. I don't think the ones in the photos here are producing pollen. The stigmata are really wide and flat; as seen in the upper left flower (green part in middle.) They don't seem to have any stamen. No stamen, no pollen, no fruit right?. While that may turn out to be a problem, it can also be an opportunity. It would allow me to hybridize them more easily with another cultivar I have this season.
>>1500951Yeah, that happened this week. It has been ultra warm and everything just exploded with flowers and leaves. We are still in a frost danger time frame. Hopefully, there won't be a killer frost within the next 3 weeks.
