pollinate

My only Ping! lol Will have another flower up soon. Can I pollinate this relatively easy or are the offspring around the base easier to start than pollination and collection of seed? Cheers!

Here are the steps to how I pollinate my B. liniflora. By self-pollinating, you get about twice as many seeds as normal from B. liniflora. 1.First, I wait for a flower to fully open. 2.Then,I take a toothpick and color it black with a permanent marker . 3.Wait a minute or two for the toothpick...

Does anyone know how to pollinate a Adenium obesum(Desert Rose)? Thanks

These guys don't know when to stop. Only two stalks coming, but they are fatties! I am going to let them bloom, and pollinate them, so seed isn't too far off in the future.

I've had 2 D. paradoxa plants flowering for the past 2 weeks or so. Rather than flower every day, they seem to almost alternate with maybe both flowering together every 2 or 3 out of 5 days. My question: is there any harm (or benefit) to removing the flowers that do not get fertilized? Since...

Just wanted to share a picture of the first flower that my P. gypsicola has given me. I have attempted to pollinate the flower by hand so I will have to wait and see if I get seed. and a picture of the actual plant

The Marsh Pitcher Plants (Heliamphora sp.) By Alex Dietrick From the sandstone plateaus in Venezuela and Guyana, come a fascinating genus of carnivorous plants. South America’s only pitcher plant, Heliamphora is very primitive, but elegant in design. The trap seems to consist of...

For those inquiring minds. Very first ping flower for me. I'm going to try and pollinate it. I’ve read the faq and don't really understand where exactly the pollen is? And how much of the flower do you take apart if any? Any more info would be much appreciated. Thanks Stephen

I now consider myself to be successful with U. jamesoniana. I have had the plant for a little over a year now and last night I saw a scape raising up out of the pot. If I am lucky I will be able to pollinate the blooms and got some seed which will go first to an experienced T/C lab for...

My Aristolochia is going crazy with flowers. Since they looked very similar to the pitchers of N. lowii (even though N. aristolochioides is named after this genus) I decided to half one. This brought me to this set of conclusions. But first a brief discription of the flower. The flower has a...

Nice that they gave directions, huh? Bug-eating plants found in local forests may be disappearing By Bruce Ritchie DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER SUMATRA - It's a plant-eat-bug world out there along the scenic roads in the Apalachicola National Forest. Bugs fly or crawl into pitcher plants, get...

Hye guys my Devils claw is about o send up about 15 flowers and I need to know how to pollinate it, are there any tricks, I wouuld love to get to see a pod, plus I want to destribute these here thanks in advance, Kirk

I think I've read before that you can get seed from Drosera adelae if you pollinate the flowers. I have done this on my plant. I have taken off 1 or 2 of the old dried flowers to see if there is any seed. The flower just disintegrate. It looks like there might be some small greenish / yellowish...

Hello! I have a VFT that's getting ready to bloom. I'd like to pollinate it this season and I'm looking for someone in the Portland Metro Area looking to do the same thing. Anyone out there? Jaz

After looking at the topic with all the Sarracenia photos, I was reminded of a mini 'pet-peeve'. Compared to other seedbanks, the ICPS seebank is incredibly under-represented (check out the CPS seedbank sometime). With all of the people that we have growing flowering Sarracenia, it's almost...

I recently acquired three (presumably genetically distinct) P. pumila plants. As I understand it, it's an annual, and comes back each year from seed. I've never had any luck pollinating P. primuliflora by hand, but then again, it propagates by plantlets so easily that perhaps seed is not so...

Okay I have looked over the pollination guide. My flava flower has the petals fully grown (I think). Is this the time to pollinate or do I have to wait until the sepals lift? So the flower looks more 'open'.

Okay my S. flava 'Cooks bayou, Fl' and my S. rubra x. purpurea ssp. purpurea should have their flowers open any day now. How do I pollinate them? Can I self the plants?

How do I pollinate these pings flowers? Can they be hybridised (I don't think they can but what do I know)? Do I need more then one flowering plant?

Now what. It has a ball like growth comming form the growing point that can only be a flower. When should it flower? It seems kind of early. Can I self pollinate? I have never had a Sarr flower before so what do I do? I understand that I take the pollin from the floor of the flower and put it on...
