Abstract
Examines the timing of pollen deposition on the effective pollination of Hibiscus moscheutos. Pollen deposit on a stigma earlier during the day had a greater chance of siring seeds. However, pollen deposited later still sired seeds but success declined to low levels after an interval of about two hours since the initial pollen deposition.Suggested Citation
