Hey Paul - Nice(!) clear photo...

Can we get a sideview of the lower outside of the flower so we can see what the sepals look like on this one(?)...

TTY,...

Ron

Really nice one, Paul! It's a photo like this of a beautiful vine flower that makes you wish you had endless trellis space to grow 'em all!

Paul, this looks like one I had open up today, I got it a couple of years ago in a trade, it was labeled I. nil Hanahubuki...

They look alot alike. What do you think? I,ll go take some photos of the sepals, maybe Ron can take a look at these two.

I got a closeup of this because I was thinking of trying to pollinate Something... but, I don't know if the pollen is good, if it dries up, can it still be used? I think because it is torn, that is why it dried up or appears brown.. can I still try on something like that? Although, the flower already collapsed, it may be too late anyway.

The white powdery pollen needs to get dusted onto the tip of the white tube sticking out of the middle. If it is still the same day it isn`t to late. I have pollinated flowers where I removed the pollen the day before,tied it up and now here it was 3:00 in the afternoon being forgotten. I went ahead and found another tied flower and stole some pollen from that one and went ahead and pollinated the late flower. It took so the same day it is not to late to give it a try.
