Pollen left out on the counter

south central, WI(Zone 5a)

In my hurry to get my last 2 blooms pollinated, I left the bag of pollen capsules out on the counter for a week.
Pollen from named hybrids....:( Might it still be viable?
Will start seed collection this week.

I've heard pollen is viable a few days in room temps, a week in the fridge and indefinately if frozen....
