Hermie Identification.

[BaccaRacca]

A week ago I took this photo of an early flower on the tip of one of my stems. It looked weird. Not really female flowers. Not nanners. Not male flowers. I suspected this was an early indication of a Hermie, and did a little research, but could not find anything like this. It did heighten my suspicions, so I was on the lookout. This flower actually turned into a robust female flower tip. But the plant?

Five days later I found this hanging off the girl.

If you've seen this before, I'd like to hear about it. Thought it might be worth sharing, though.

Have a great day!

Top pic I'd say all female but you will know for sure when they open as to whether or not they contain pistols or pollen.

Bottom pic I'd say hermie but maybe not.

Patience grasshopper.

Pic 1 kinda looks like the start of foxtails, pic 2 is a hermie. Are these pics from the same plant?

 

[BaccaRacca]

Rwise, yes. Male flowers found on the same plant five days after I took top pic. There were many of the male flowers on the plant before I discovered them. Just wondering if that top pic should have been a warning.

Bluey, top pic looks a lot like the "confused" early buds I see on the female plant I'm spraying with collodial silver to get male plants. Instead of seeing early teardrop-shaped buds that later bear feathers, the buds in the top pic are more round. I did not see this on the sister plant. Goofy me did not take a pic of that plant at the same time for comparison. But, they were different.

That's how look at the bracts also to sex..but its not always easy to determine.
