Hand Pollination

A Gardener's Illustrated Guide
We'll start with a lily, which has large flowers and large organs, with colorful pollen as well. The first step is to understand and identify the organs. Since lilies are propagated by bulbs rather than seeds in the home garden, this isn't one that we would usually want to hand pollinate. But someone who is trying to develop new varieties might do so. At any rate it makes a clear example for our photo guide.
