Eclipse Crosses?

My rose garden is about 10 miles outside the 100% Total Eclipse Line. It was a cloudy day for us but we did experience the dark effect and were able to see the sun thru a few thin areas of the clouds. I collected pollen during the Eclipse and used it to make 11 crosses later in the day. It probably won’t have any effect but thought it might be a fun comparison this year. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity!

That’s a fun experiment! I doubt it will make any difference, but at least you’ll have a good reason to give those seedlings some cool eclipse-themed names!
