pollinate

Good Evening Folks, I am wondering what is the best way to preserve Nepenthes pollen when no other females are in flower? Can one put the opened flower stalk in a baggy and freeze it for several months, or does that render the pollen sterile? Curious because many times my male plants are in...

nm this topic; I read the flowering post

I'm not sure if thats the correct name for it, but anyway, I will try my question in a lame attempt to understand the process. To get a hybrid Nep, is the process of cross pollinating two different species of Nep the same as how they do it for  hybrid orchids? So for instance would you take...

My P. 'Enigma' is flowering and I am wondering, can it self pollinate? Or should I just clip the flower?

My D. dichotoma is in bloom. I have read that most binata species are not self fertile. Is this true with dichotoma as well?  I have been attempting to pollinate them with a small paintbrush just in case. There was some question a few weeks ago wheather this is a dichotoma or just a large...

Hi William and others... Here is the thread about Drosera sp. 'Cuba'. I got this plant as D.sp 'Cuba' and I think this to be a very special plant. It always produces one flower at the mid of the flower scape and this flower with a very long pedicel. The rest of the flowers are produced at the...

Ok, I'm still a byblis newbie in fact I've only grown liniflora but will try gigantea as soon as I get my seeds.... still when I hadn't even grown this plant yet I worried about growing it from seed and such so I made a short article. Please don't make fun of it. its basically based on personal...

My D. Spatulata is flowering. It has 3 stocks popping up. Do they self pollinate? Has anyone else had experience? Please tell me :-)

Well, seems nobody missed me when I didn't post for a couple a months. It looks like my green dragons I put in the fridge for dormancy are doing really well, but I forgot I needed to get some new soil to repot the plant. The VFTs are the still in the original pot from PFT from 2 almost years...

I picked up a s. alata in full growth today for $40. It has more then four different plants and eight different growth points in it. I have always wanted this one too. There are at least five flowers up and in bloom. I wish that I had the opportunity to pollinate them. There seems to be no...

Today, 2 of my D adelae flowers have opened. Should I try to pollinate them with a paintbrush or something? We had a short little section in Advanced science on plant parts, so I think I know where to put the pollen. Would it be possible to obtain pollen from another plant(different clone)...

Ok, I seem to have discovered the picture posting gallery, but after looking around for how to upload the pictures for about an hour, I found nothing except myself pulling my hair out. There doesn't seem to be any source which tells how t post pictures. I see the phrase "post ur pics" all the...

I have a Sarracenia x wrigleyana hybrid with a bloom that has finished opening. I wanted to know if this plant can be self pollinated or do I need pollen from another plant to pollinate it? I have noticed that pollen is already being shed on this bloom so if it can be selfed I need to l know...

Guess what? Myyyyyyyyyy D. intermedia 'Cuba' is making flowers and it's not even a full grown plant o_O sort of weird since Copper sent it to me as a plantlett less then 2 months ago, but whatever I'm happy. Is anyone else seeing flowers on there plants yet? D. intermedia self pollinate on...

Hi guys, I was mucking around in the greenhouse a couple of days ago and thought I'd have a go at pollinating a few Utrics. I'd never tried before and had been told by various growers that it can be very difficult to fertilize the flowers. Anyway, several of my U. dichotoma forms, U...

Hi singaporean cpers, I have just had a sarracenia flower a few days ago, I discovered a "ball sitting on top of a tall stalk" and realised, in fascination, that this was a flower. I have never had a carnivorous plant flower for me before, and of course started reading up on every site about...

Here is a beautiful victory. It's always a great moment when a previously unknown species flowers. I am doing my best to pollinate the flowers as I find them open. I was very surprised to see two flowers open at the same time and took over a hundred photos.

Today I while I was observing and pampering my plants in my terrarium I discovered a stalk with a light green bulb of top of it coming out from the center of my only Sarraccenia, which I instantly realised it to be a flower stalk. () I, in my excitement, was trying to stop msyself from curiously...

I gave this plant a siesta during the winter for a few months, and now, two months out of its "nap" it is flowering. Now, I know that I cannot pollinate it, and it won't self. I am wondering if I should just "nip it in the bud" (pardon the pun). I cannot keep it in my one tank because the stalk...
