Della--you can transport stigmatic fluid to the surface of your cut from the stigma of another flower of the same plant but on the second and third attempts you'll see, you'll start piling pollen on top of pollen. that's why I call it a one shot deal. In conventional pollenation tho, I've found that pollenation over several days gives me the fullest pods with the least chaff. Keep in mind throughout our discussions that I work with Trumpets and Aurelians where I have plenty of stigmatic fluid present.
