My female N. campanulata is sending out it's second flower spike for this season. However, it might take a while for the flowers to mature and open (probably two weeks). Is it possible to store pollen in the refrigerator for use later?

Pollen can be stored in foil packets, frozen up to 1 year for later use. It is esp. helpful to remove most all of the moisture from it, be sure it is dry, yet viable pollen.
