If I understand your numbers correctly, you are having a very high pollen strike rate compared to what I normally encounter here.

I've had some seasons where I collected only one seed pod for each 100 attempts. More often though the success rate here is better than that.

This has been an exceptional year for me. I get about one such year out of every three. My success rate this year is 17.55%, a little worse than 1 in 5. Your success rate exceeds mine.

Congratulations! Keep jabbin', dabbin', daubin', or smearin' whichever you do. You are doing something right!

Smiles,
Bill Burleson
