Sup y’all. An update on Project Pollinate Tarnok. Check it, here’s the first post from a couple months ago. In the photo below, I am just checking under the hood – I’m checking for swelling or… whatever the heck a S. ‘Tarnok’ pod is supposed to do at this time. (I have no clue, it’s my first time doing this with Tarnok.) When I did this cross, I was doing a continuous pollen dump on the stigmas. Honestly, I don’t know if there’s any seed in there or not. This could of been a complete failure, but heck, I tried. If no seed this year, I’ll try again next year.
I wonder…
[S. leucophylla 'Tarnok' x flava v. cuprea - I wonder if it took?]
Hey Rob i tried a tarnok with a purp this year at least the flower inverted itself and is looking up not bent over. keeping my fingers crossed
Hey Rob,
When I did it I got I think 3 seeds. I think with was due to the deformity of the entire flower structure. I know I stratified and sowed but I think I got no germination but them again they could have been lost in the fray I call a nursery.
I love it… “checking under the hood”…
Very nice Rob!! I’ll try to post a pic of my pollinated tarnok
Here is mine XD

OH! VERY NICE!! Hey, let me know if you get anything on your end over there. I don’t even know if my pollination took. I hope so!
Sounds like the year for Tanok crosses! I tried it with Night Sky. So far the stem hasn’t turned brown so I’m hoping, hoping…
My tarnok flower looks like it opened last week.. Still perfect
