thanks for yopur reply and explanation.
i just picked off one sweat corn growing on our patio....
it had a few teeth missing...
i think on a video by dr bones the woman said if you dont cross -polinate well this is what you will get.
your description of putting pollen in a small container sounds funny to me(exuse moi)
is it not easier to pick the whole flower or you think it is not moral?
then i get a flower for our vase....and material for pollination
how about picking the flower and then rubbing the whole flower 1 on top of flower 2?
