Hand Pollinating Marigolds

| I am in desperate need of help. My daughter planted marigold seeds in school late last spring. We have babied the plant all summer and the weather got too cold here we brought it inside and put it in a sunny window. I never thought about how to pollinate it. There are two plants from different seeds in the same pot, one is just starting to bloom and the other is just budding. Assuming I can get some pollen, how do I pollinate by hand. My daughter is wanting to collect seeds to plant next year. |

| Val, Try to locate the pollen bearing organs (the anthers) and use a small artist's brush or tweezers or twissors to take an anther and rub it on the stigmas. Refer to the diagrams here. ZM |
