Jim Sproul,
I read Your article at

I am wondering how You performed 109 pollinations with pollen from six flower buds.
When I used a brush, it took the sticky liquid from the pistils and after some pollinations the brush itself took lots of pollen instead of giving it to the pistils.
When I used my finger, it is the same.
After two or three pollinations my finger is sticky, takes lots of pollen and will never transfer it to the pistils.
Is there a trick I don´t know?
