Greetings.

Reviving the Byblis pollenization thread for a moment, I tried a slightly
different method from the tuning forks and electric toothbrushes which
seems to have worked.

I have a pair of long metal tweezers which vibrate ala "tuning fork" when
held by the very end and plucked. I placed them against the inside
center of the flower several times, and I now have a healthly seed pod
(yay!).

The tweezer tips don't vibrate for long so you have to be quick :-).

Ah, the joys of innovation!
