JoAnn,
I have kept pollen in the refrigerator. I use what are called "microfuge tubes" as they are what I would use to store my antibodies at work. They come in neat little racks. I would decant the pollen into them and store them in their little carrier in the refrigerator, adding a bit of Silica Gel to the bottom of the box to keep things dry. When I'd want to use one, I'd pull out the vial, and let it come to room temperature. use a fine camel's hair brush to remove some pollen from the tube and use that to pollinate your flowers.
This year there is NO shortage of flowers. I just made over 100 pollinations this morning and that's just the tip of the iceberg of what's blooming. This morning I used one of those huge near blacks (E129-2) on a bunch of things, including 'Patent Leather Shoes'. Those could be fun.
