Some words of wisdom 4 u Dennis !* " outsmart the bees !!" haha...* When i'm cross pollinating & dont want the pollen on the plant i want to cross i wake up before the bugs & as a flower opens in the sunlight & snip the pollen nodules off before they burst....Then when u x pollinate & dont want bees spoiling your fun. Try gently draping a tissue across the flower & tape the tissue to its self so bugs cant get in....dont tape around the flower stem & u can gently tare the tissue away in a faw days...keep it dry too. Have fun ! Steven On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 8:24 AM, Dennis Kramb <dkramb@badbear.com> wrote: > For years I've daydreamed about using Ipomoea pandurataI think it's > smothered with pollen > already!
