To be an eggplant, or to not be an eggplant--that is the question here

I am growing a miniature eggplant in the greenhouse to experiment with hand pollination. It is attractive enough to be a houseplant, and the flowers are beautiful. I find that they are mostly wind pollinated outdoors, however, indoors you can tap the flower like you would a tomato, or just run an artist brush inside the flower. I have done both and I am waiting to see what happens.
