How do u cross-pollinate lilies?

Question

im still doin a science project and i wonder if anyone can help.

Answer 1

You take the pollen (the yellow dust-like stuff) on the anther of the flower and put it on the Stigma of a different lilly's flower. The stigma is in the center of the flower and usually looks sticky on the end. Also you have to carefully remove the anthers of the plant being pollinated so the plant doesn't accidentally pollinate itself.

Have to tell you, if you are planning to get the seeds from the cross-pollination process it takes a long time for lily seeds to mature--sometimes 2 or 3 months. Hope your project works out.

Answer 2

in case you're taking the pollen from one lily's stamen and wipe it on the stigma (that's the precise of the tall, imperative shape protruding of the middle of the lily) then simply by fact the fertilization technique maintains, the genetic make up of the 2d lily will substitute. After the plant life die do no longer eliminate any of the leaves or stem. The bulb makes use of those for nutrition. while the lily comes up back it particularly is going to proportion some features of the two one in all it particularly is lily "mom and dad".
