A flower was picked from the plant pictured above at approximately 3am on Friday, May 31st. The plant resides in the Athenaeum parking lot, on Caltech’s campus. After picking the flower, we rubbed it’s anthers against a clean glass slide until a signifiant amount of pollen had accumulated. A clean cover slip was placed over the slide and the slide was put into the Foldscope. A phone flashlight served as our external light source. The specs in the first two photos are most likely grains of pollen. #caltechbi1
