Full StoryI understand that this is (hopefully!) self-fertile. Does anyone have personal experience attempting self pollution of this species?
As the raceme develops and each flower opens, I've been using a cat whisker to probe the flower and try to transfer pollen to the inside tepals, which allows subsequent transfer of the pollen to the pistil. It's an unusual 2-step process, and the whisker is useful because the surface is naturally 'clingy'. Wish me luck!
I'll try my hand at attaching pictures....
Thanks!
