pollen

Hello everyone. I'm posting this for JBorchidguy because he's unable to get online atm. He has N. red Leopard and a maxima hybrid flowering, both male. If anyone has any females he's wiling to send pollen for a 50/50 split on seeds. if anyone would like some of the pollen send him an email at...

Hello everyone. Today is a very exciting day in my HL Nepenthes chamber to say the least. My Nepenthes spathulata's flower stalk has finally been harvested after 6 months of patience where I waited and hoped that I would get a few fat live seeds from the only two pods that survived from the...

Both of my D. derbyensis plants are in flower right now, and I was wondering if there is a way to send pollen to someone with different petiolaris flowering? I will post pics later.

First example: Pitcher is pubescent on the interior and bright red/orange in color. Goosehead type of nectar spoon. Interior of pitcher is covered with fine hairs Full Size (That powdery area on the left is where I bumped a pollen laden cotton swab against it) Second example: Pitcher is...

Over the course of about three hours this morning and early afternoon, i had the chance to take some shots of an opening Opuntia flower. The flower bud on the right is just about to unfurl, while the one on the left should be opening in a couple of days. I took a series of overhead and...

I have a Nep that is starting to produce a flower. It is a Splendiana x (tiveyii x vetchii), thanks Mass!. I have no other Neps with flowers so the loose pollen (if male) is not a concern at this time. My question is, should I cut the flower off, leave it to finish, wither and then cut it...

Let me know if you're interested! Here is a time-lapse I took of the plant.

Anyone else flowered N. 'Red Leopard'? I have a N. 'Red Leopard' coming into bloom. I'm grow it as a HL. I have had luck growing it as a LL also. I'm curious if anyone else gad flowered one. I currently don't know the sex of mine yet. I kinda peeked in the opening leaf ladt night. Didn't want...

My Pinguicula have been in full bloom this year. I decided to mess around a bit with pollination. I really didn't know what I was doing. I basically just used an old flower stalk from a Drosera, colored the tip black with a Sharpie, found the pollen and rubbed it around the inside of some...

I have a D.Helodes "reel" and a D.Capensis they are both in flower i put some cape pollen in the D.Helodes. Will this cross produce seed???

My N. "Splendid Diana" aka splendiana has it's first flower spike! I am a windowsill nepenthes grower so I am interested in HL pollen. Let me know what you have and I'll decide which I'd like to use. It's not a huge spike, but I may be able to do a few crosses. We could all evenly split portions...

My seed grown plants just opened the first two flowers yesterday. They're gorgeous, but unbelievably tiny!!! What's the best way of going about cross pollinating them? I was thinking of either using a toothpick with a lightly chewed tip (helps pollen adhesion) or setting them outside and...

I now have a highland truncata sending up two flower stalks. Was excited for a moment since I have a male ventricosa flowering that no one has been interested in, until...it also appears to be a male. Maybe there is more interest in truncata pollen...

At the moment i am feeling extremly ANGRY towards a certain Eastern Tiger Swallowtail caterpillar. in one of my barrel bogs i have been growing some Sarracenia flava v, ornata. I have nurtured these plants for three years hoping to finally obtain some seed this year to distribute to other...

Hey guys. I'm planning on doing some very controlled Sarracenia pollination rounds this year and have a couple of questions. I'm using Q-tips and labeled aluminum foil envelopes to store pollen in the fridge for later use. I'm using one end of a Q-tip per flower and collect pollen everyday in...

Thought I'd tack on to this thread to give some suggestions for those who may have struggled to ease the pain and quicken the learning curve... for reference, the flower tested on was from an H. Puchelle. I highly recommend checking out the following links first...

I have quite a few extra pollen-laden Q-tips from my Leah Wilkerson's flowers, and im hoping to find someone with some interesting "open" flowers. I'd like to split the seed 50/50, but i am being a bit of a dead beat dad! Message me and lets get to work ASAP! A
