Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Can I pollinate yet?, 0 by Kell

I usually pull my flowers apart when they at the stage just before they open. Just before the stage this one is at. I remove the anthers and then stick in a paint brush and pollinate. If the anthers are not ready but the stigma protrudes, I just touch the end of the stigma and wait on the anthers. Sometimes you have no choice, you need to remove the anthers to get at the stigma.

Be careful you do not share pollen on your brush between different brugs. I use 1 brush for each brug and each pollen type.

I pull it open when it looks like this.
