Ok, feeling silly here. I have some flowers that have started blooming under my lights indoors, so I figured this was a great time to try my hand at pollinating. Some flowers make it easy, the petunias and Abutilon are perfectly obvious.

Two others though, are a mystery. Can anyone tell me how to pollinate Vinca or Torenia. I can at least see some parts of the torenia that are obviously the stamen and anthers... just not sure which is which, and don't see much in the way of pollen.

On the Vinca, I see nothing! Is it all just tiny, or hidden somewhere...? It's funny, but the center of this photo makes me think there's something there, but in person it looks like there's nothing there. Maybe I need a magnifying glass!
