Still very fragrant when i came home and the hood is definately cinched at the center. Although there was no visable production of pollen the inside of the hood was covered in a very fine powder.

I cut a hole in the base of the hood to reveal what looked like stumpy tendrills, as soon as i removed the piece a little fruit fly climbed out, so maybe he has done the job already.

Then taking a small brush i wiped the inside of the hood, if you look closely you can see the inside bottom still has some pollen on it.

I ran the brush over the tendrills that i could reach. its really hard to know if it worked as the powder mixed with moisture that had gathered in the hood. So there was no pollen to actually see or save.

So i covered the hole with cling wrap and ill see if there's any more produced later to repeat and maybe save some.
