| I posted, in an exchange forum, a request for advice or real life experiences with the best way to trade (by mail) pollen from Daylilies, lilies and roses.
Then I thought that this forum may be a better place to get that feedback. Any thoughts or advice on mailing pollen? (other than be sure to mark it so someone doesn't think it's a biohazard) Thanks |

| I have had good luck with Amaryllis pollen wrapped in paper. This works well enough for quick delivery. A few days in the mail doesn't seem to harm the pollen, and the paper keeps it dry. And one time I received poppy pollen in a plastic film canister. I used some of the pollen last year and the rest is in the freezer for the next time I need it. Karl |

| Thanks Karl. I'm thinking that anyway that the pollen doesn't get flying all over the place and getting mixed up if there is more than one kind is a good thing |

| Using a dark colored tissue paper and putting it in an envelope works pretty well. |

| Thanks Kristinas Had a successful mail trade last year which expanded my hybridizing possibilities. The dark tissue is interesting as it would serve as a good backdrop for the pollen colour. K |
