Dave Evans Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Using different pollen in order to get the flower to accept the pollen you want it to is a trick I heard about from a plant breeder, but I forgot what plants he was working with... Maybe daylilies... I think they can mix pollens of different ploidy levels to avoid the pollen they don't want to contribute to the offspring. Seems like it is 'common knowledge' for some folks, while many others never heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Number Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 It appears that the cotyledons are covered with sessile glands. As a test for carnivory I placed a speck of fish food flake on one leaf. After twenty minutes it appears the leaves were secreting fluid - presumebly digestive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
