Where is the stigma on spider-plant flowers?

I know it's there somewhere- I have successfully pollinated two flowers- but I just can't find it! I mean, it says in my bio textbook that there should be a large, sticky area on the top of the [can't remember whether it's pistol or stamen; it's the female part of the plant]. Is it microscopic?


Also- the plants I've pollinated have grown fleshy, three-lobed lumps. I'm assuming these are the fruits, but I wouldn't know.

I don't think there is anything of the sort associated with a spider plant. They have tiny white flowers that last for 24 hrs or less on long wiry stems coming off the main plant. The flowers are followed by baby plants. I have never heard of fleshy, three lobed lumps or fruits on a spider plant.

Could you possibly have a spider lily? That may develop into some sort of seed pod once pollinated. Just a thought, but I do not know much about pollinating them. Sorry.
Reply:Are you referring to Cleome (Spider Flower)? A bushy plant with seven lobed leaves. The scented flowers are 3 ins in length and the long stamens give it a spidery appearance.Cleome spinosa height 3 - 4 ft spread 2 ft with white, pink , red or mauve flowers. Any well-drained soil will do, but it must have full sun.





If you key the name of the plant into the search box near the top right hand side of the screen you may find a web site that will answer the rest of your question.

Reply:There is no stigma connected with spider plants that I know of. They got the name because of their spidery look. They're beautiful and easy to grow.
Reply:If you successfully pollinated two flowers... you must have found the stigma. Look closely at the lumps or "fruits" you have. It's possible that you can find the remains or scar of a stigma and then look for it in corresponding flowers.





I don't know too much about spider plants, but is it possible that they have separate male and female flowers? If so, not all the flowers will have a stigma. Just check each flower.
