@Kaktus I'm afraid that I've given you the wrong idea about where the pollen exists on an Adenium flower. I say this because you are going to a lot of trouble to save the anther tails/filaments which are entirely useless in pollinating the flower. On other types of flowers (like aloes for instance) the pollen is located on the tips of the anthers but on an Adenium flower the pollen occurs below the filaments inside a cone that the filaments are attached to. This cone contains the pollen (inside the pointy end) and the stigma (lower down the cone). The stigma actually divides the cone into a top half and bottom half. Only the bottom lower siders of the stigma are receptive to pollen so any pollen that falls on the top surface fails to pollinate the flower. Pollination only occurs when pollen is removed from the top of the cone and placed into the bottom of the cone so that the lower surfaces of the stigma are contacted by pollen.
I wrote that in some multi-petaled flowers the anther tails have mutated into petals and often contain no pollen. That is an observation and not meant to cause someone to think that the pollen is found on the anther tails/filaments.
Here is a site that I found today that has much better pictures than the ones I posted previously. I believe that I've used up my "Thousand Words" so here are some pictures that will, hopefully, be more useful.
