Hey Barb,
I collected pollen from Amaryllis using a small paint brush.
I have read you can freeze brug pollen.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Choc I keep meaning to write you!...And I forget by the way..No, I dont know anybody by that name..Is it family of yours? Barb Thanks for the video choc...

I wished my speakers worked...I wonder where we would buy the containers with the lids? I bet a camera film canister would work? Maybe not? Okay back to work..:)

I just cut off the anthers and allow them to dry a bit then put them in a heavy paper envelope and pop them in the freezer. I've also taken the pollen off the anthers and just froze that too. I don't use plastic for storage because of condensation.

OOps Thanks Karyn..We posted at the same time... See your baby.... I have them..Thanks once again....Barb

Cute pic! Been finding them everywhere. LOL
Do not think they will hurt anything.
