My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
My chantinni 'Dark DeLeon' (aka skeletor) is flowering. Now that I've seen the start of the flower I'm pretty certain it is 'Dark DeLeon', but I haven't seen any good pictures of one. Anybody got pictures to share?
I've been cross pollinating. Unfortunately, I don't have very desirable blooming plants to cross with right now. I'd like to cross with Delmar or something like that, but what I have are nids and neos in bloom! I'm not finding any usable pollen on this thing. The anthers don't show any pollen when I wipe them on my finger. They are tiny little things anyway. Maybe I need to wait a few more hours.
Just checked, pollen on the anthers at 11:45. I guess 9:45 was too early. Maybe I'll try saving some pollen for a future project.
Anybody want to discuss some unique ways to store pollen? I'd like to save the pollen in a manner that makes it easy to pull a "shot" of pollen. I was thinking of cutting up paper straws or something. Then I could fold the ends of the straw to keep the pollen inside and when it comes time to deploy I would just push an open end of the straw over the stigma and do whatever to get the pollen to trickle down onto the stigma.
