Major wow! Now how do YOU get pollen from those things?! I butchered my flowers and couldn't get anything.

Hey Jim,

just use the tip of an electrical tooth-brush (without brush) and put a sheet of paper below. If the flower is ok the vibration will immediately release lots of yellow pollen to the paper hold below. That works really nicely.

Siggi
