Corpse Flower 2020 - spathe removal for pollen collection

[@JasonRobinsonidaho]

I'd love to see more about the collection process.

Oh so you can use a little stiff sniffer bottle to spray the pollen across the plant as long as you're pollen's dry and then to collect the pollen get a dog collar and strap it on there nice and tight and then get a heat gun and heat it up about 2 in up so slumps down a little bit causing a little lip that way the pollen will go into that outer ring edge and you have a way to be able to scrape it out without it trying to go down the base shaft of the flower

Why did they hurt that beautiful flower why they killed it

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

To make many more.

They didn't kill it. In order to pollinate the flowers we have to remove the spathe (big purple petal) because we physically cannot reach them without removing it.
