WHAT?! Shirley, you must be joking? I just lick my finger and wipe the
stigmatic lip, then exhale slowly onto the anther (if the pollen is too
dry, this moistens it up and makes it easier to apply...someone taught me
this a few weeks ago on Iris-Talk), and them smear it onto the lip. No
spitting at all, no dainty techniques either! :)
Jan, I'd love to see you trying your technique on MDBs. LOL!
