Strange Occurrence among Hibiscus

Today the first pod on Kalinka had started to crack open. Not wanting to loose any seeds, and there
was some I was sure as I saw something dark inside the pod I picked it. Imagine my surprise when I
pried it open and found THIS!

No seeds but a flower bud! Too bad I never get to know if it would indeed have flowered.
These images are real life scans of the podbud.

Can this have anything to do with the fact that it was pollinated with pollen from the same plant?
Somehow I doubt it. Still, I got several other pods on my Kalinka plant from the same cross. Will
be interesting to see if they all contain a flower bud. Be assured that I shall not pick off any seed
pods before they have truly started to open.

I will indeed tell you of the outcome. Stay tuned!
