never know. selfing a hybrid might produce interesting offspring. Might be different in years down the road if more of the plants bloom at the same time of year.

[kulamauiman]

got a question on pollen shed. tuning fork? is it the vibrations and fork barely hitting flower or is it resonance? If so could the same be done via electronic means producing the same frequencies/pitch as say C at 256 hz?

Why not do what I'm doing with the Byblis? Pluck or cut off an anther, slice open the pollen sack with a scalpel. Let it dry out for around 15 minutes and then smear the pollen on the stigma.

Looks like only one or two flowers on this spike. So looking into testing all kinds of things.
