Some hand on fertilizing Dyckias

This golden dust are the masculine gametes or pollen and every little gain is full of information and is a nature marvel we are still to understand fully but we never understood so much about as now Men are get in those secrets and with the blessed Light we shall be understand many of the human life rapers as cancer.
It is ever plentiful and sweet tasting to attract pollinator agents.
In the case of Dyckias  insects of all sorts and of animals even mammals and the wind and the water
are very effective in transferring pollen.
Most, the immense majority of Dyckias can self pollinate without any help!
The idea that all Dyckias need a pollinator agent is a bad one as Dyckias are capable of self pollinate without any help. The pollinator agents are extremely vital for they spread pollen and genetic information through all a certain population and this guarantees genetic health to a species. This is the vital true role of the pollinator agents on Dyckias.

If one wants a controlled pollination it is wise to remove the masculine parts of a flower long before they mature and liberate their genetic information on the feminine part. We name this emasculinization of the flower. The masculine parts, anthers are ever six on Dyckias. Amid them stays the feminine part.
These masculine parts are best and easily removed with the help of a metal wire instead of a scissor or blade.
Above we see still immature anthers, later than this it is impossible to make hybrids.

Above we see an emasculated flower and the feminine receptacle.
Now one can insert on it the pollen of the chosen flowers to make planned hybrids.

Use a brush to carry the pollen from the donor plant.

Above the masculine parts that are removed from the flowers  one wants to get planned hybrid seeds.
These anthers are already almost all mature and the emasculinization is not valid for these already may have lost pollen grains and made self pollination.
Indicate well what you just deed with the use of tags.
Remember it will take at least two months to get the seeds.
