Easy way to pollenate

Des Moines, IA(Zone 5a)

I found a easy way to pollenate daliliies, I used to put the pollen in the freezer & then thaw it when I would want to use it but sometimes it would get soggy & be no good. Now I use Q-tips to put my pollen on & Sometimes I would use up to 15 pollen sacs & Then freeze it until I was ready to use it. With a Q-Tip you have plenty on pollen so you can make sure you have enough to use cross with.

That is a really great idea. I may try that next spring. Thanks.

I have used this method and pollen says a lot better, although I have about given up on freezing pollen since none of my crosses ever take.
