Ah, the books will tell you it’s pollen tube growing down the style, but in my little kitchen garden, the real story is the ants and bees doing the hard work while I’m sweating over my appams! For full marks, your flower diagram better clearly label the stigma, style, and ovary—the whole path, mone. I learned this watching my amma’s chilli plants; if the stigma isn’t receptive, all that pollen is just dust, like my first batch of burnt appams.
