Pre-Pollination Protection on the Outdoor 1989.5 Daletas ’17 dmg
Day before pollination preparation and protection. When the entire season depends on a single flower every precaution is taken to help increase the odds of pollination and minimize the potential for damage.
There is a blue cup covering the flower to help keep the flower closed to prevent any potential bees from adding pollen. This is weighted down with clothespins. Then this is covered with a 5-gallon paint strainer bag to allow air flow but still provide a physical barrier from insects and small varmints also held down with clothespins.
