Jim, I started my pollinating odessy by 'self' pollinating flowers. The pollen is isolated, there is a 'flesh' barrier between the pollen and the pistil, the receptive part, so to speak. I would peel open the flower, cut off one of the antlers, blotting up sap if there was some, then take the pollen and put it on the pistil. Sometimes, now, I will use pollen from as many as three flowers, all the same, to pollinate one flower.
So, yes, you can pollinate a flower with itself, or another flower on the same plant. I believe this is what Mr. Ko does, when he shows only one flower. He now shows two flowers when he's crossing them.
Whew!
This one is named Siam Golden Aroma.
