I am hoping that I have a male and a female. If so, I will get a bunch of seeds! WooHoo! I have 7 or 8 more of the Burmese seeds. I will get seeds at some point, that is certain. I donât plan to cross them at this time. I would need to study before I decided to go that route.

I make a tester batch up by introducing a solo cup male into the space once the sex pistils show. Then remove male and transition, so I only get a few dozen seeds deep inside at node points. No real effort involved besides cleaning before transition.

Hilarious, Kap!
How are you @merlin44 , how is Shell?
Weâre good over here, just waiting for rain, hopefully today, and about time I get off my arse this morning and get a couple things done. 
And wishing all states were legal; I live in a legal state, and I feel for those who donât and have problems due to that. 
What century are we living in, for effâs sake, let people be free and live their own lives, follow the golden rule, be respectful and kind, itâs not that hard. I hate politics and the crap from it.
'Nuff said, I need to brush my teeth, Iâll lurk later.

Shell is doing OK. I just work to keep her alert. She doesnât remember me most of the time. The good news is that she trusts me most of the time, even when she is having an episode of delirium. Thank you for asking about her.
I take her outside to watch me while working on our place. She loves watching the deer & squirrels.

That must be so hard, especially being your spouse, Iâm very sorry about that!
Absolutely, that is good news.
We caretook my husbandâs mom.
When her dementia became advanced, she did recognize us, with very rare exceptions, but she had many insecurities and delusions, driven by her advanced dementia.
She always trusted my husband implicitly, but she was often swayed by her dementia, and so it was so hard trying to strike the right balance of comforting her without enforcing her delusional beliefs that were often very wild.
My grandma was much easier to comfort.
She was mostly bedbound by the time her dementia was advanced, yet nearly every time I visited her, she would apologize, try to get up, and say she had to pick corn and veggies, prepare dinner, etc.
I would go with it and reply to her something along the lines that we have the corn picked and dinner is made, or whatever her thing was at the time, and it would relieve her and sheâd let it go.
It seems that dementia presents differently from person to person, and is what the doctors say.
Anyway, sorry for rambling.
Hugs to you both!
Ahhh, very nice!

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Shell often becomes convinced that there are others in our house. Odd since we have been alone in this house for nearly 30 yearsâŚno kids, just cats.

My MIL, also.
Also odd since we almost never had friends/family over.
And she often thought she heard us singing Christmas hymns. 
Nope.
Must have something to do with the brain misplacing sounds and intertwining it with memories, or something.
Hopefully the âguestsâ in your house donât make Shell feel disturbed, though.

LOL I hope that they donât steel anything. LOL Difficult to catch phantom guests.

LOL and yes! My MIL would misplace things and then blame it on someone else, often an unknown âsomeoneâ.
Thankfully, she often wouldnât be upset by this, as long as my husband, who mostly interacted with her, wouldnât suggest that she must have misplaced the item(s), which would then upset her and make her feel like she was being âbadâ, despite how gentle my husband was with her. He would try to find the item, or just buy another, if was easily replaceable, like a toiletry/personal item.

Shellâs wedding rings went missing for over a month some time back. I was unable to find them but didnât worry about it because I knew that they were in the house somewhere. Like other things that she âhidâ somewhere, they showed up one day.
