Hi aroiders:

My variegated A. konjac 'Shattered Glass' is flowering for the first
time. Even the spathe is variegated rosy red and purple.

I wanted to get seed from it by crossing it with other cultivars (using
it as the female) but it is about a week ahead of my other clones.

Can I self-pollinate it?

Can I save pollen just in case I want to cross it as a male?

Any instructions on pollination are helpful.
