KB,

You don't have any pollen because the Mormodes throw it at the insect that
pollenates the flower. All you have to do is bump the plant and *BAM* you
have this sticky stuff with the pollen stuck to you. The glue is stronger
than superglue sometimes.

It's fun to show someone who doesn't know orchids. Have them go to touch
the flower and *BAM*.

Unfortunately, the flower soon dies after it does this.

I love the Mormodes and relatives.

Good Growing,
Gene

Mormodes tezontle from Mexico, I think... Another returnee from the POE,
and all the anther caps are gone... I wonder if folks took my pollen? LOL!
Nah, more likely it was just beaten up in the display tear down. Those of
you who display yourplants should be aware of the fact that tear down
means exactly that. Toss 'em in a box and get the heck home!
