Very nicely done, Karen!

I find it easier for me to use a tweezer to pluck the filament and anther from a pollen source, but then use my fingers to hold it while applying the pollen to the stigma of the pod parent. I think I must have limited dexterity!

I used to work on watches when I was a teen (just the batteries and a few basic stuff anybody can learn in a watch shop) so the flower parts seem big next to watch parts. :)

Thanks for the excellent descriptive "how to" gardener 2005. I'm just starting to get interested in Morning Glories as they seem to love it here, so this is very interesting.
