I have these seed grown minis that I was excited to pollinate when they bloomed, but I’m having no luck. I use older flower pollen sacs on freshly opened flowers but there is very little pollen in the casing and it hasn’t taken yet. Does anyone have experience with this? I could use some tips and tricks. I really want to grow more to try and get a nice violet coloured one. 💜 Thanks in advance!😀

Here are some links to crossing AVs. I haven’t read them, but hopefully they will help.
