pollinate

I have some U. sandersonii, that had flowered, and the flower has fallen off. Many more are starting to bloom. It has left behind, what I guess will be what will be a seed pod. Does U. sandersonii self pollinate? and how long do you let it on the stalk before collecting?

So its about to open a nice purple flower. This will be my first ping flower, so that being said can I self pollinate it? Thanks, Andre

A few days ago my pinguicula eseriana flower bud opened! it has five pink petals, 3 on the top, 2 on the bottom... the flower is completely different than my other pings, i don't see any way to pollinate it (don't see the sticky pad) and suggestions?

First off, sorry for not being around lately, other responsibilities have been taking precedence. And yes UKC, I spell checked the big post LOL Anyhow... YAH! SERIOUSLY! If you don't want to believe me that’s fine, but please hear me out on this. In theory, it is totally possible to cross a...

Hello, My P x weser is flowering right now and I wld like to pollinate it. I've looked up the website "World of Pings" but I can't quite understand the instructions there on how to self-pollinate the flower cos the pics were unclear. So, I've labelled the significant parts of the flower (at...

Hello, My surviving P x weser has got 2 flower buds in development. If it does flower, should I self pollinate each one individually with a toothpick and such, or should I cross pollinate them?

Hi I just want to let you know that I have a N. campanulata in bud. I would really like to pollinate it with the same species. I don't know if it is male or female yet. I probably will not know for at least 3 weeks. -Jeremiah-

Hi folks Since there is often talk about pollinating plants and terms are used that some may not be familiar with, I created this diagram to illustrate the basic flower parts so when someone is talking about pollen, stamens, anthers and other such parts, you may have a better understanding of...

Hi folks: Recently went to a local CP meeting where some local growers had different pings for sale. I picked up a few specimens of P. emmarginata that were in flower...hoping to attempt to hybridize them with P. esseriana. So I get home, and guess what? No pollen. Not a single bit of dust in...

Hey all, I'm curious as to what is the most successful way to pollinate flowering Nepenthes. Currently when I have a male and female in flower, I introduce the male plant to the female plant (without buying any drinks first&#33 by rubbing the male flower stalk to the female flower stalk. As of...

I've tried to grow flytraps numerous times in my youth and failed each time...mostly I attribute to living in Texas.  So, after moving to NJ I decided to once again try my luck.  Fortunately I've had much better luck. Here are the plants in April 2002 Here are the same plants in August, 2003...

Okay, it's the seson for supermarket VFTs which means lots of people are going to show up here with 90% dead plants.  Rather then re-write the same thing 50 times, I'm posting this!  It's a quick key to help give Newbies a handle on what caused their plants problem.  I request Oldbies (is that a...

So I decided to pollinate my S. minor and 'Dixie Lace.' 2 days after I did my first attempt all the petals dropped from the flowers. Do I take this as a good sign that pollination was successful?

First off. My very first Utric flowering. I have five flower stalks on my U. sandersonni... One on my N. ampullaria chunk of sandersonni, one on the piece with my N. madigascariensis, and three in my sandersonnii pot. The one with the amp is nearly completly opened... It just has to flip up it's...
