Hi all-

In regard to the questions about D. regia pollination, I can only say that
I selfed mine, and the ovaries have swollen up. Based on this observation,
I am led to think that the plant is self-fertile. In order to accomplish
this, I simply transferred the pollen to the stigmas as soon as it was
released from the anthers. The stigmas appeared receptive at this time.

Regards,
Jeff Shafer
