A Crash Course on Pollens

Hey everyone!

For this blog we wanted to talk specifically about Pollens and compare them to normals. As this morph continues to grow in popularity, especially with the super, Flower, being as great as it is, we thought some side by side pictures would help with identifying them.

These pictures are all clutch mates and recently hatched. We chose Pollens from this clutch that were relatively easy to identify, but keep in mind some of them are a bit more subtle than the ones pictured here, and there are others more obvious than these. Just as there are a wide variety of Matrix looks, the same holds true for Pollens.

Some of the traits that help us ID Pollens are varying degrees of dorsal striping, separation between the lateral markings; lateral markings look like they are reaching up and trying to touch the dorsal pattern.

Hopefully you are able to see the differences in the pictures below. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. We are still continuing to stare at these so if you see something we don’t, share it!
