I use dixie cups for drying my pollen too, as well as seed! Once the pollen is dry I can just bend a pour spout in it and pour the pollen into the vial for freezing, I can also pick out the large anthers with tweezers in the cups without it getting everywhere. I use one of those carry all kitchen trays to collect in, cups stack up and I collect the anthers before they shed so those can stack up too. I try to keep all this stuff in a closed room while it dries so the she devil cat won't destroy everything.
