Linda, I've used IMMORALITY as pollen parent.  The trick is to 'split'  the 
anther.  This technique will often release a few grains of  pollen per anther. 
Of course, it won't work if the anther is curled back on  itself.  
 
A bit tedious but worth the effort.  This is what I did with both  BRIDGE IN 
TIME & RETURNING CHAMELEON.  I really liked the  results!  <vbg>
