Adrian Slack (and more) Pollen for SASE

U

utricularia

Greetings all!

I think I am done playing Bumblebee for the season. I know we are getting a little late in the season (at least for CA) but if anyone wants some pollen, here is what I have left over:
- one packet S. x 'Adrian Slack' (Rob, you get first dibs here)
- about 4 packet S. leucophylla

Packets are not huge but should give you enough to pollinate a plant. Please only request if you have plants which are still receptive or about to become receptive. I don't think the pollen will still be good next season. Lets do the SASE thing (or shipping via paypal if that is easier).

S. x 'Adrian Slack' (assuming Rob does not take it)

S. leucophylla

I may have some more- I'll check later and post back if I do. Gotta dig out the stock pile.

BTW, Pollen was collected within the month and has been in my fridge.

Edit:
Just for fun (and for purposes of crowd sourcing), I'll throw a couple of packets of Codariocalyx motorius (A.K.A. Desmodium gyrans) in there. If you request this, I only ask that at some point you come back and post your results here. I have had a hard time getting this plant out of the seedling stage. I can tell you what I have done so far and what has work or not worked.

How many seeds are in the Desmodium packs? I may be interested in a pack.
 
I'd really be interested in the S. Adrian Slack pollen.... sorry Kinjie!

I was thinking about 10 or so. I have a small stock pile but it is running a bit low. I originally imported them for overseas like a year and a half ago. Last time I tried germinating seeds was about 6 months ago or so and I was still getting germ rates over 60% (off the top of my head, I think last time was about 75% germinated). So I am pretty confident they are still good. Awesome plant if you can get it going. I actually kind of like them over Mimosa pudica.

I PMed you. Now, if you get any really cool crosses- we all want to see pictures!

No worries Rob! I hope you make some great crosses.

Alright, looks like you guys are it. When you get a chance could you PM your address to me and I will hopefully get them out today or tomorrow.

I am probably not going to keep anymore of my extra pollen around once I send off M Jacobs's, if anyone else decides they are interested in some Desmodium gyrans seeds, let me know! Great species!

Api, not sure if you have tried this species or not. I plan to compile my notes on what I have experimented with so far and the references I have used in case you might find them helpful. I am notoriously forgetful though, so feel free to bug me if I do not get them to you, might be a day or two. Of course, I am happy to share this information with anyone who wants it- might even just start a thread about it when I start some again :)

Hi Planturd,
I am sorry but I did not anticipate any one else requesting S. leucophylla pollen. As I was cleaning out my seed collection last night, I tossed what I had not already set aside.

Alright, pollen is in the mail! Best of luck!
