By cutting back the petals to discourage bees from cross-pollenating his flowers, then carefully collecting the pollen and mixing it with pollen from other varieties, he's able to create his own rhododendron hybrids."
Caption from metadata for 535-2329-3: "Young plants that are the result of his breeding efforts are raised in his tiny greenhouse until they're strong enough to be planted outdoors."
Caption from metadata for 535-2329-4: "Norbert Wuensche stands in his back garden, which he's built into a showcase for many varieties of rhododendron, some of which he's developed himself."
