Can you pollinate by hand?

To hand pollinate, remove the petals from a male blossom to reveal the stamen at its center. If you look closely, you’ll see pollen clinging to it. Touch it with your finger or a small paintbrush and carry the pollen on your finger or the brush to the female blossoms. Touch them at their center.

Do butterflies pollinate?

In return, butterflies help flowering plants to reproduce through pollination. When a butterfly lands on a flower to drink nectar, the flower’s pollen becomes attached and as the butterfly moves from flower to flower drinking more nectar, the pollen is transferred.
