Sample Name: Lily of the Nile: Agapanthus orientalis

Location Found: Sidewalk near Fleming House

Sample was obtained by removing the flower’s stamen from the petals and gently tapping the stamen onto the glass slide to collect pollen. After putting on a cover slide, the photo below was obtained. We can see in the image individual grains of pollen, which are pretty circular.
