Re: [NAFEX] Hand Pollination Website

This is excellent.  I've collected pear pollen in exactly the same way.  One
minor touch was that you can dry the pollen faster if you put a cover, like
a bell jar, over the container of pollen, and include some silica gel inside
to help dry it so it won't mold.
