I have a bloom on an Australian iris now and I'd like to save the pollen
until next spring. How do I do that? All suggestions welcome. Smiling


I heard drying them enough to where there's no remaining moisture. Don't dry to much though or you'll lose the good pollen. Then store in a glassine envolpe, stick in a jar and freeze. Maybe I'm missing steps. I refrigerated some for weeks and it worked, but forgot to freeze it. In fact it's still in the fridge, about 40 envelopes worth..wooops! D'Oh!
Gimme it and I'll grow it!
