My previous attempts were a failure (flakes only no viable seed), this year I will try again.
Last one is looking better on second day.

Papillio will be in bloom in two days.

The Papillo has opened but not yet fully. I would be dusting pollen on all extra large ones.

Papillio pods gave me lots of seeds which were not fertile.
