I am having the same problem as Fred, these are just some of the clips and beads I pulled as I was pollinating in the garden this morning, these beads each represent a pollination that did not set a pod. I had already emptied my pocket earlier.
The purple beads represent 'Planet Claire', last year I was never able to set a pod on it, but did have some luck with the pollen, this year not a single pod has set using the pollen from 'Planet Claire'.
Here are a few seedlings that were blooming this morning.
The seedling bed does add a lot of color and brightens up the garden, but I have seen nothing except some of the tall red ones like in photo #3 ,several look very similar, that are possible keepers. They are all tall with stout scapes and nice dark green foliage. Too bad it does not have a more distinct bloom, but it is pretty, and as you can see I actually do have at least one pod on it.
