saliva on pollen?
hey guys so i had a nice trip to a cool market and they were selling phals and dendrobiums
i made my mother buy me a dend and then some old guy knocked over a phal, causing a flower to fall off
i grabbed that flower for its pollinia and i then pinched a few dend flowers off a few plants i wasnt buying
i got home and went to pollinate mine with a plucked flower-but the 4 pollinia went everywhere
i proceeded to touch a pin to my tongue, which allowed me to pick up a few pollinia and transfer them to that indent on the inside of the flower behind its pollen cap
will the tiny amount of my spit affect pollination??
