I thought I would a pod that has aborted to show that this particular cross is not the easiest to make. As  you can see, when this one aborts it aborts at the peduncle. Most pods abort before they get this large and the peduncle merely separates from the plant dropping the seed pod. As this one developed a bit more, the peduncle turned brown and withered rather than separating.

Just a few pictures to show variability of lavender on Datura wrightii as well as showing how lavender tint can be seen on young seed pods, edges of flower, and even the stem.
