We hypothesize that the pollen for the simple flowers will have a smooth surface, whereas the compound flower will have a rough surface. Our reasoning behind this hypothesis is that the simple flowers that we are using in this experiment (Fuchsia and the Asiatic lily) have anthers that produce pollen that is easy to rub off compared to the complex flower (Dahlia) used in our experiment. Since it's easy to rub off, it makes sense that the pollen of the simple flowers have a surface that is smooth.
