Ok, so I have successfully harvested 4 pollen pods from my Paph. lowii. They are in a coffee filter, which is in a plastic container, which has a silica dryness packet, which is in the refrigerator.

Now for that Paph primulinum var. alba to go into bloom and the experiment can continue.

When the primulinum does bloom I will update the pollination. It will also be the reverse of the normal Paph Mamie Wilson (lowii x primulinum), lowii is usually the pod parent.

Keep your fingers crossed that the pollen will be ok for a while.
