quick pollination easy

[John Yates]

the pollintion of heli flowers has been here in AU a hard to get right thing, not sure why ? seems many cant get it to work, if you have a few plants and there flowering round the same time and you want to do crosses or you want to self with another plant of the same kind,, the easy way is to vibrate the pollen ready anther pollen directly to the lower flower petal ,make sure there is no air flow are your pollen will just blow away , it will sit there, you dont need much , the on the other plant with a flower that is ready for pollination just fold back the petals ,bring the receptor to the pollen you just placed of the other flower petal and very gently apply the pollen to the receptor , easy pollination

I just pollinated this flower using this mentod and as you can see the receptor in the first 2 photos has gone dark indicating that its been pollinate .that took 7 to 8 min to show it worked , the other flower with dark yellow anthers pollen rich on the lower petals was where the extracted pollen fell too , you may be able to see some slight letf over pollen there , its hard to see
