Subject: Sarr pollination

I wrap wedding veil (white veil for to be pollinated and red veil for
pollinated flowers -- freudian at its best) arround Sarr flowers to
prevent pollination from unwanted bees. One of the things I noticed on
some Sarr flowers wrapped in white veil that I never got around to hand
pollianted is that the flowers formed pods just the same. Two things
could be happening. The veil is not allowing the flower to expand
properly and therefore the male and female parts touch resulting in
pollination; or, ants, which are constantly hanging out in the flower,
are pollinating the flowers.

What do you think?
