BRIAN can you expose your method , this one :
"However, cross -pollination between two different plants produce a larger amount of seed and the viability/germination rate drastically increases.
With Pinguicula, I usually split the tops of the flowers with a sharp razor blade to expose the anthers and stigma. Then, working with the flowers is quite easily done and the flower is not completely destroyed. I prefer to work with colored toothpicks to make sure visibly, that pollen is obtained."
perhaps some picture who breaks up this process.
I would like to test your method ;D mine is too empirical
many thanks
