well, as usual, i just sort of plowed in with my limited knowledge as soon as i perceived the window of opportunity. and of course, th8ngs didn’t go as planned. what i thought was the pollen on the taenialis turned out to be not the pollen? im not really sure at this point. i fiddled around on it more than i should when i only got little tiny whisps of things that didn’t really look like typical phal pollen. so, in desperation i of course transferee whati had to the mini mark...and then tore off the pollen and stuck it back on the doritis! ha...well, that was a mess. something is different obviously with the pollinia on the doritis. some of you may be laughing at me now, like yeah, duh. oh well, live and learn. after that horrible experience this afternoon, i found this article. may be of some interest somehow
