Dot I have tried to dry the anthers in the vial, but had no luck but then again I didn't let them dry overnight under a lamp and with a fan. I can't do that now anyway because I have no place do that without bringing the pollen home every day and then taking it back over to where the daylilies are. I may try that on the extra vials I save, that way I can just leave them in my freezer until I may need them then I can take it back over there.
Once I move closer to the daylilies it will be easier to do things, but right now it's an hour round trip daily to go to the daylilies.
