Not only that, but if any one of the plants you deadhead has a disease, and  
you are using clippers, scissors, or even your fingers, you certainly risk  
passing on the disease to the next plant the infected implements cut.
 
We have gotten so sensitized to this issue in the daffodil world that if we  
want a flower for indoors or exhibition, we pull or snap it off.
