You're never going to believe this!

When I got home from work today I walked to the back porch where I have my plants and picked up the Neo I just got to smell it (I have to take advantage while it is still in bloom, I LOVE the fragrance) and I noticed that the little yellow dots (yeah, I know they're pollinia) on the front weren't there any more which made me look closer and guess what I found....It looks like some bug came by trying to get nectar and actually took off the pollinia and pollinated 2 of the flowers...look!

If you look you can see the pollinia in the stigma

In this one you can see the pollinia missing from the anther

So what do you think I should do, leave it and send the seed to someone to flask it or just cut it off?

Hahaha, I found a fly in the pouch of my laevigatum the other morning. And it doesn't even stink!

Don't you love actually watching nature work her magic? So amazing.

I'd leave it be and send the pod off. Good bug. ity:
