Ah!! I am getting out my paint brushes for tomorrow ... Becky, do you only need a bit, or do you first gently stab and then pile up a lot of pollen on top? I think I have been using more pollen than needed, based on info read years ago on the net, that some hybridizers want a big "cap" of pollen sitting at the end of the pistil. I think I will start using less, and assist it with a paintbrush, for a while to see what happens.
