Default To Cut or not to Cut

Hi CP lovers

Okays my N miranda has bravely shown "his" spike and its still very very short probally opening in about a month or so.Anyways as i have seen how much a flower can actually exhaust flower from a little unsigtly experience from my mixta x fusca which had half of its stem turn woody and loosing some of its pitchers and newer pitchers are smaller.My miranda has already 1 tendrill curling around the plant hangers and it seems to want to make another round around my mixta x fusca woddy stem and looks good So if there is anyone with a female flowering i might not cut it off.Well even if i don't i'm afraid i still don't know how to collect pollen...Yes i have heard of all the ways to extract it and theorically i know put pratical wise i have no experience.So if i let it bloom and i don't know how to extract pollen then it'll be a waste of the miranda's energy.Oh yea one thing pollen can be stored in a freezer right?

Ken
