Ta-daaa!
My first ever pollen-in-a-tube!
It's from Banshee Lullaby and I'll be dabbing it on some EE's in the Spring
I have some practical newbie questions, now that I'm collecting pollen:
- Do I wait until the pollen is 'fluffy' before I collect the stamen, or should I cut them of and take them inside so they can unfold and become fluffy in their own time?
- Can I use the same tube tomorrow to add more pollen from the same plant (but of course a different flower), or should I take a new tube?
- If I can add to the same tube, should I keep it in the fridge or in the freezer while I'm waiting for the next flower?
- Do I keep the tubes upright in the freezer? (I have to make something then to put the tubes in, instead of just tossing them in a freezerbag
)
hehehe, I see a new addiction lurking around the corner!
Anyone want to swap pollen next year?
