DIPLOID POLLINATING SET

 

This set of five tweezers and forceps is ideal for small flowers, particularly daylily diploids with the smaller flower parts. The set includes:

--Two (2), 4-1/2" reverse action tweezers with straight ends.

-- Two (2), 5" mosquito forceps with curved ends. 

--One (1), 5" mosquito forceps with straight end. 

The 4-1/2" stainless steel reverse action tweezers with a straight, pointed end are ideal instruments for holding the pollen-laden anthers when pollinating. Press to open and release to close. They stay closed until you open them. If you use common tweezers, there is always the danger of accidentally releasing the pressure and losing the anther. 

The extra fine point on these tweezers covers only a very small portion of the anthers. This allows for the availability of more pollen. See photo below. The point of this tweezers is sharp, so be careful in using them and keep away from children.

The 5" clasping forceps with curved and straight ends are great for removing the stamens holding the anthers. Just press shut and they will stay shut. They can also be used to holding filaments with the anther attached while pollinating. The points are a little too large to hold just the anthers. They will cover up too much pollen.

These tweezers and forceps are stainless steel with a satin (brushed) finish. Made in Pakistan out of German stainless steel. Payment by PayPal, check, money order, or VISA or MasterCard.
