               The bulk of the pollen is a bit deeper than you’d think.

               Yes, it is a bit deeper, but on some this is more pronounced than on the others, I am speaking from my observation of those flowers.

               I agree. Its down deep in the flower. I had to carefully remove all the flora, so that the pollen did not drop onto the ground while I was cutting it away.
