A customer came to my line to buy an acid brush and it only cost 24 cents. It came from the plumbing section. It's about 3/8" wide. Whaddya think of it as a tool to hand pollinate Sarracenias?
I don't see why not. Some bumblebees are bigger than 3/8" and they get into the flowers without problem. You can always trim some of the bristles to make it thinner.
Just back from the PO. Maybe Monday you should get it. Even though the flower opened last week the pollen took a while to ripen. I may have been off a day or two either way but it should either ripen in time or remain viable for a few weeks in the refrigerator.
When it first starting coming up it the point or tip of the bud was almost perpendicular to the ground. The way a Sarracenia flower is after it has been sucessfully pollinated. Now it's hanging down like a lantern or how a Sarracenia flower looks before it is pollinated.
