pollinate

Hello friends, I made this video showing how to pollinate pinguicula. I had to pollinate p. caerulea anyway :)

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...

So I start a few dew species and a dionea dente from seed in january. They are all doing great until a couple days ago when they all started to die. This happened this winter with some liniflora seeds they grow well for 3 or 4 months then just die... I don't understand it. From what I've been...

A couple of my Sarracenia are starting to send up their flower buds, and I figure I might as well try my hand at propagation since I have some interesting plants this time around. My Sarracenia alata "Black Tube" has surprised me by making two buds, and though unfortunately I don't have another...

Curious.. I have D. macrophylla and D. macrophylla ssp. monantha both in flower. Is it possible to cross pollinate the two to make a tuberous hybrid? ??? And for future reference, is it possible to cross pollinate completely different tuberous species like erythrorhiza and macrophylla?

I wanted to share some pics of a P. lilacina flower. This flower and the few that came before it are from plants started from seed back in late October, just two months ago. The flowers are quite short, only about a 1/4 of an inch long, not including the nectar spur. These plants seem...

Hello, I have a few questions about self pollination and the effects on seed. -Will self pollinated seeds produce weaker seedlings/weaker adult plants? -Say I self pollinate a plant, grow those seeds to maturity, then self pollinate that plant, and so on, will the plants continue to get...

My slides and cover slips arrived today so I thought I would have a peek at the H. folliculata pollen I harvested on 11/6 This pollen was dried overnight in a sealed container with ground up saltine crackers as a desiccant. The pollen was then froze for a few days, thawed and used to pollinate...

Hi all, I wasn't paying attention and a whole mess of D. burmannii seed went and matured on me. It's a cool little species with a short beautiful rosette. In the wild, they are annuals, but you can keep them alive a bit longer indoors. Be warned that they self pollinate and germinate readily in...

Hi all, My Genlisea violacea has just begun to send up a flower stalk...so what do I do? I've been reading various forums and websites, but I'm getting mixed reports on whether they self pollinate or require manual pollination. Does anyone here have experience propagating this species? Thanks...

I did a Genetic Experiment with the White Seeded Devil Claws and the Black Seeded Devil Claws here to see which is the dominant color by letting them cross pollinate by planting side by side in the patch here.

Hi, I have B. guehoi plant putting out a flower. Does the species self pollinate? Or does it require cross pollination to form seeds? Thanks!!

I've been wondering about this for a while and have never found a direct answer..... Maybe there isn't any or maybe the answer is specific to the genus or type of plant. ??? So, I thought I would ask here. Let's say I want to cross 2 different plants that are capable of hybridizing and...

Major NOOB Question / Please Bare With / LOL Ok basically I spray/hose my whole greenhouse drown to keep the humidity up I have a few Neps that are starting to open flowers / M & F Will spraying them knock the "Stuff" off the flower thingies??? ie pollen & whatever to females have / LOL...

My drosera peltata bloomed, and made three seed pods. The funny thing is that I didn't pollinate the flowers, nor were there many pollinators in the GH. But there might have been something suitable in there. Before I go all nuts, I'd like to make sure there are actual, viable seeds, instead of...

So hopefully.. I just keep posting pics here all the time instead of continually making new threads. Here we go..things have been slow because it's been chilly and dark this winter, but it's finally picking up. To start 'er off, here's a tilly All my plants are making 'stupid little lid...

Hey friends, I've heard that you can pollinate sarracenia with pollen that has been stored. Right now I've got: S. flava var. maxima (REALLY GOOD SPECIMIEN) S. purpurea venosa S. flava var. rubricopora S. flava var. flava (very nice)* S. flava var. rugelli S. flava var. ornata S. alata...

I was asking a hobbyist about hand-pollinating pings and his answer surprised me a bit: Whaddya think?

I'm back home this week for Thanksgiving so I thought I would post some pics of the nepenthes I leave at home. In order they are densiflora x black truncata, ventricosa red x carunculata, a veitchii flower, and just for fun my favorite cactus which always flowers this time of year. If anyone has...

I have one unidentified orchid, Paphiopedilum. I bought it a year ago (haha it is still alive). I still dont know wha specie it is or what hybrid. I tried to pollinate a flower so I had to cut off its ''pouch''. I dont know if I made it right or wrong but i hopeI will get some seeds. It's...
