Lloyd has mentioned that he usually used only one stigmatic
lip, and that is the normal routine here, too.
I have gotten a full pod from using just a grain or two from the
point of a toothpick, and have failed to get a pod from some
cultivars that I know are fertile and have a plethora of pollen that
have produced pods on mommas previously used. I have come to
the conclusion that getting a take is just hit or miss.....like being 'in
the mood.'
