Good Mother plant

Hello,

I've tried numerous crosses with no luck. Can anyone recommend me a plant that produces seed pods?

Thanks,

John

    Exotica , Charisma, and papilio if he likes your choice of a mate; Lima and Chico if they are well rooted, Some bulbs will be successful producing seedpods even if not well rooted but will always do better on roots.
    There are dozens more but these just come to mind without thinking,
    Exotica is one of the best and it accepts papilio pollen to boot!

    If might probably be better to ask which don't easily produce seedpods as the list is much smaller.

    Good Luck!

    I second Donna, Exotica is an excellent pod parent. It has been the most prolific producer I've had.
    Another good producer has been Bogota, although it has not been as good as Exotica, not in quality nor in quantity.

    I have many H. Exotica crosses where it was the pod parent. H. Limona is also a good pod parent.
