| Generally speaking, female flowers tend to be much showier than their male companions. If male and female flowers are produced on separate plants (this is referred to as "dioecious"), gardeners are generally recommended to obtain female plants if the object of their desire is flowers or, in the case of fruiting plants such as kiwi fruit, at least one of each. There are also species which produce separate male and female flowers on the one plant (corn, for example). There doesn't seem to be any such recommendation made for Pandorea Jasminoides and I'm guessing that both male and female parts exist together within each flower. If you want to confirm this, I'd suggest you contact a botanical garden or similar. Perhaps your non-seeding plant didn't produce flowers or had them removed for some reason and therefore didn't have the opportunity to develop seed pods. The one with seed pods has obviously been fertilised - good luck with your seed sowing. |
