Remember when I said that the flower hadn't opened all of the way? Well, that made it hard to spread around the pollen. So, I tried to open it a little bit more. But, I didn't really count on the petals being so fragile and they ripped a bit. Nevertheless, you may be able to see some of the pollen grains that have been applied to the flower.

This shot was taken after pollinating from the secong flower from the fridge and the third one that was left on the vine until the last moment. The third one was open underneath it's mesh covering. So, I know that I have pollinated with at least one flower that was definitely ready to do the deed.
