With all the various bloom times (nocturnal, early morning openers, cold morning openers, late bloomers, etc) I also seem to find that a cultivar's pollen ripens along with the bloom.
Am I imagining things, or is the fluffy dry pollen from my diurnal, in deep shade no less, peaking earlier than the still-mostly-closed anthers on the diurnal in my full-sun beds, even though I am gathering pollen from them at the same time in the morning?
And, if so, should I already be pollinating the one that I took fluffy dry pollen from, even though it may only be 55 degrees outside?
