Paul, have you had any success (presuming you’ve tried) with germination from Out of the Night? I just collected seven self set hips from it and shelled sixteen seeds from them. They’re planted in some six packs I have odds and ends in out front.
I think I can now positively attest that the “hairs” on Minutifolia are for collecting water. I cut off twelve buds and two partially open flowers from one of the plants to harvest pollen from. Those fuzzy buds are literally soaked from the misty air this morning. I had to blot them with toweling to partially dry them before I could do anything. Keeping my fingers crossed…Kim
