I have some rather ordinary pollen from red, white, pink single and doubles. Do you have more a specific request?

Wouldn't we all like more pollen from doubles! As you've read here, most doubles don't produce pollen anthers (a few do) and harvesting pollen from the small, hidden pockets on the tepals is sometimes the best you can do. My advise to you for the future... Buy loads of bulbs and plant the doubles far ahead in the season, that way you'll have lots of pollen stored in time for your springtime blooms and crosses.

Are you planning to create your own crosses to expand your own collection or will you be selling?
