Has anyone had experience with storing Pinguicula pollen for future hybridization use? I would be interested in any tips you may have. Thanks KP.

Hi KP,
I've done it in the past. I take the pollen with a toothpick (I usually colour the tip in black to see the pollen), wrap the toothpick in aluminium foil and keep it in the freezer until I get an hybrid opportunity. I don't remember how long I've kept pollen in the freezer but I'm pretty sure I had success with a month old pollen.
Good luck.
