The Others I got were just labeled White, Red and Yellow. The ones I got from Pine Island flowered but never set fruit and I don't have the time or the patience to run around with a paint brush in the middle of the night trying to find another species to cross pollinate them with. Especially considering they need to be cross pollinated within 48 hours of each other.
But I do enjoy watching them flower at night and seeing what bugs and animals will visits them.

Bummer--I guess that means mine will not set since it was a lone flower.
