Title: pollen left out!
Post by: robsorchids on April 02, 2010, 11:33:13 AM

we had our fridgefreezer changed today while i was at work, and the workman left all my galanthus pollen out on the table! i only just noticed today so its been out overnight in the kitchen...
i put it back in the freezer but im worried its no good now seeing as its been left out? so anoyed as it means i will have to wait another year to collect pollen again :(
would it still be viable even though its been left out overnight and put back in the freezer?

So long as the pollen didn't get damp, it should be fine. I take my pollen boxes out and put them back time after time as I use them.
