Bunch is filling pretty quickly and I am excited to try them hopefully soon!
My plant does have BSV, and from 75’s second picture, it looks like that plant does as well, but it isn’t affecting the growth or productivity of the plant as far as I can tell.
The bees and wasps adore the male flowers of this variety, and the male flowers are always full of bees (some wasps but mostly bees) and when the flowers have fallen to the ground, the bees are still climbing all over them sucking the nectar! Watch your step!
And when there aren’t any male flowers open, there is usually some wasp or bee on the bud waiting for another bract to lift to reveal more male flowers! You can see the wasp waiting on the male bud lol
