               It was really easy to see the pollen flyong today.  If I used the right flower and buzzed it next to the desired mega, I could see a puff of pollen.  The flowers that just turned canary yellow seemed to be the best to use as the male donors.

  Anyhow I know there are other methods (collecting pollen in a teaspoon and using a paintbrush) but I am so absent minded and disorganized.  Anyhow... I wont be relying on self pollination to get the job done, this is too easy.
