 Attached are two images of a sample of pollen. The sample was obtained at 4:30 pm on May 9th, 2019 outside of Page House at the California Institute of Technology by plucking a flower and removing the pollen by hand. The image of where the sample was taken is below. The species of plant the pollen was obtained from is a hibiscus plant, specifically the Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis).
