That sounds like what happens when they do not get pollinated. I will break off a male blossom, hold up female blossoms, and shake the pollen from the male into the females.
Plenty of bees buzzing around the flowers so I wasn’t thinking pollination was the issue ..... however, I will pollinate them myself and see what happens. Thanks!
I like your suggestion. I have not noticed if pollinators are having their way with the blossoms. I’ll see if I can tell the difference in this particular plant and do the insemination for it. It’s at least worth a try! (Someone recently posted a WONDERFUL picture on the thread showing the difference between male and female blossoms.)
