Hello Bonaventure and Jim McClements, and anyone else :  Greetings-- Agai=n:
Why use an eyedropper?  How about a camel's hair brush?  I know there was=a
previous reference to using an eyedropper, with the pollen distributed in
water with a bit of dishwasher detergent-  But why?   anywhere?   I can't
find them if they exist. (Maybe I don't know where to look--they're not
listed in the AEG documents.)

Another question:  Can one determine if anthesis has occurred without
looking inside the spathe? Does it routinely occur once the spathe has
unfurled?

Techniques for saving pollen ?--for months?  year-to-year?    Petra?
Suzanne?

I'm considering a cross of sikokianum with lobatum and the converse.
