Aside from the fact that it varies with the species and the plant, from n=o
time because the flower is pollinated before it opens, to a half day on t=he
low end, because the flower has died-- up to a month in some orchids.

Other factors affecting the process are  temperature, light, water, and
general health of the plant, presence of the pollinator, whether it is a
person, bat, mouse, insect, wind, etc.

A question on pollination:

When exactly does a female inflorescence become receptive and, generally
speaking, how long does it remain so?

I ask because I have a number of female plants of varying species who hav=e
been "in bloom" for almost two weeks. What I assume will be male corms, i=f
they bloom at all, are only just emerging. I calculate it to be 2.5-4 wee=ks
before I see some pollen. If the situtation was reversed & the males were
out
first it wouldn't be an issue.

Ideas?

thanks,

Erick
