Receded hair 🌸 Flower

A pistil hair that has not just turned color but retracted into the calyx pocket, indicating viable pollen has hit that ovule site.

Jeremy distinguishes normal end-of-flower hair color change from full recession into the pocket. Receded hairs clustered in one tent area flagged the isolated pollination — 50 receded hairs means about 50 seeds at that site.
