Well the thread title says it all. Post your pollen wants and haves here.

Thinking of pollinating a gessie but don't have a good "dad" in bloom? Perhaps someone here can help.

If you are willing to offer up some pollen, please put this thread on your watch list. Maybe also post a what pollen you expect to have available here - it's up to you.

Now, it should go without saying that you don't have to be an experienced hybridizer to participate. Heck, I'm new to hybridizing too - I've only done species, and I've never registered a cross.

Anyway, this idea came up while chatting on this other thread here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/705388/
Perhaps we don't have enough interest to make this work, but why not give this a try.

If you have questions about pollinating or hybridizing, please post over on that thread, or start a new thread. (And don't forget - there are some good links in the stickies up top.)
