Default Pollen in Rainwater

I am finding this time of year that if rainwater is not collected imediately after the rainfall than a good bit of pollen accumulates on the top of the water. Could this be detrimental to plants particularly the ones in Primeagra?

Don't think so, but I will beg off to the more expert growers here.

Thanks, I hope not! I just put out clean buckets to catch the downpour that just blew through.....There is so much pollen in the air right now that the water was already tinted yellow before thes torm was even over!

I have used pollen-laden water in past with no problems, but like I said, I will pass to more accomplished in this area.
