The pollen-supporting anthers of lilies is removed, without staining the fingers or clothing of the operator, and without spilling pollen in the work area, by using a tweezer fitted at each free end with an anther-contacting member that includes a layer of foam material. The softness of the foam material, permits the anthers, which are held quite loosely on the lily filaments, to break free without pulling away the filaments. The anthers with supported pollen can then be deposited in a waste receptacle, simply by opening the tweezers over the waste receptacle and gently tapping the tweezers on the receptacle.
