> Jim Shields, I have tried to self pollinate the first flower and I took pollen from a S. Orient red, micro waved it for 20 sec. and mixed that with pollen from the second bloom. I now have a small amount of pollen saved in the refrigerator for the future and/or to trade with someone else. Is there no Mexican botanist out there who could help us with a few bulbs, some pollen, or something? Doug
