Collecting and Saving Pollen

Hello List,
I'm sure that most of you who hybridize irises have run into the same frustrations as I have this season. With pollen parents blooming sometimes weeks before pod parents, it becomes necessary to save pollen for future use. I've put collected pollen in gel caps then stored them in the freezer and/or refrigerator. Being the impatient person that I am, I don't want to go through the whole trial and error process on my own. So, I'm looking for some of you breeders to share your success stories and ideas about storing pollen. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
