how do you collect the pollen without a tuning fork? My heterdoxa x ionasii is flowering, and the flowers are about to open

You'll need something that vibrates like a tuning fork.

Here's a pretty good read for collecting pollen. Just in case you're interested.

Lol, thats the first website i went to. The tuning fork method is supposed to be pretty good.
Question: You can pollinate the same plant with the same pollen from another flower on the plant, right? Like one flower opens, you collect pollen, then pollinate another flower. Or do they have to be cross-pollinated like drosera binata or adelae?

That's basically how I understand it, if it's your only flowering plant and you have no stock pollen. You collect first flower then use it on the next flower to open as far I'm understanding it.

I've got someone sending pollen, so I'm probably going to cross pollinate it
