Pollination Question
Hi group,
Just a quick question, more out of curiosity than anything else. I know that if I pollinate an orchid, the flower shrivels up within a few days in prep. for growing a seed pod. However, if I take away the pollen grains, but don't actually put any pollen in the flower, will the flower still shrivel up? Cheers, Xi |

I experimented with Phals as well as Paphs, I don't know about other species. Mariana -- 'Not all who wander are lost.' - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring |
