I probably will end up getting an electric toothbrush eventually. I still brush my teeth the old-fashioned way. Just put some baking soda on my finger, and brush away.
Just kidding! Considering how clumsy I am, maybe the toothbrush will be the way to go.
I'll look at my flowers again today and decide whether to give this another try. I hate sacrificing flowers, but don't want to try crossing w/o emasculating the flower first. Most of the blossoms now are too far gone to try it.
