Well this year I thought I would make it my mission to pollinate my Pachypodium's, I have never tried this before & it turns out to be a bit more of a process than pollinating other flowers. I will tell you the way I went about it, to start I used two different types of Pachies, P. densiflorum & P. rosulatum v gracilis. I would of liked to try & get pure strain seeds but as Pachies aren't self fertile & I only have one of each plant a cross was my only option, both of these plants have great features & a cross of them should produce some very nice looking plants. Before I go on I will show you the plants. P. densiflorum P. densiflorum flower P. rosulatum var gracilis P. rosulatum var gracilis flower The process of pollinating these flowers involves dissecting it to get to the pollen & stigma which is under a hard cap in the center of the flower, to do this I carefully cut the flower in half length ways & then wiped away the nectar which is produced when the flower is damaged. Now the flower is cut & the nectar is wiped away & stopped flowing I carefully peel one side of the cap down & use a tooth pick to scrap out some pollen setting it aside to use on the second flower (other plant), once I open the second flower I use a new tooth pick to collect pollen before adding the pollen from the first flower, I then take the second tooth pick & use it on the first flower. Here are a couple of photos of the flowers after they have been cut & pollinated. P. densiflorum P. rosulatum var gracilis I hope this information might be useful to someone else. I am pretty certain it has worked on most of the flowers I have done as it has been ten days & I can just start to see tiny little horns starting to form, I will take some photos & update in a few days. Also if any one has had experience with pollinating Pachies I would love to hear about it. Cheers Jox
