Having just spent nearly 7 weeks collecting pollen I can definitely say parchment isn’t the best. The reason is what sticks is harder to scrape. Actually any paper isn’t good for collecting as I saw it bled into the paper and unable to scrape up. What’s best and can take the flat edge of a card or box flap to scrape up (it’s a lot btw) is foil, better is dull, but harder to do without ripping. You can take a grinder keif screen to filter what’s on stamen flowers back on to the foil if you have it. You will be surprised how much sticks, But as you scrape from the outside to the center, you can see lines forming. I find it’s also easier to slide off foil surface once scraped into the container. Also the best way is to tip and prop the plant at an angle, so all flowers hang over the sheet of foil. I like to use a pie pan or dish, tap like every few days then after a week you’ll have accumulated quite a bit on the surface. I found out I wasted pollen by using parchment. By using foil I collected 2x more.
