<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Some people wonder why some papers on pollination are so long and complicated? What is the point of using so many techniques and protocols? Why are so many pollination papers conglomerations of statistics, biochemistry,
plant/animal anatomy employing up to 3 different technologies in microscopy?</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">The attached paper was published in the New Phytologist a month, or two ago. Dr. Yung-I Lee worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden for a brief period and consulted with me before submitting the original manuscript.
Read it, look at the micrographs and it will help you understand why our research must often employ a long list of techniques to interpret what is really going on during the process of pollination. Sometimes the act of pollination we see isn't so simple
and interpreting it requires forensic applications as if one is analyzing clues in a detective story. In this case, after more than 150 years of publications on the pollination of Cypripedium species mechanics the floral biology of C. subtropicum proved to
be a little... atypical.</p>
