It still carries the genes to produce polys if you want to use it.

I have had a lot of success on wet and rainy days this year. If I can get some dry pollen the day before and save it in the fridge; the next day I make sure the stamen is dry, dab and cap. It is one of those notes I make in that program, because I'll never remember it in 2 months.

They all seem to perform differently from year to year don't they, maybe depending on the weather? 'Yabba Dabba Doo' hasn't flowered well for 2-3 years here this year its been amazing never stopped and sending up new scapes already same with 'Wilson Spider' while others haven't been so good this year 'Tomorrow's Song', one of my favourites, hardly a good flower all season.
