Hybridizing requires that seeds be created from plants. The following depicts this process:

First, select your plant and then take the male part, pistil, and touch the female part, stamen, to ensure pollen is deposited. Do this early in the day when you can be sure that fertilization can occur.

First, select your flowers as parents. The choice may be color, petal and sepal shape or other characteriscitcs.   

Then, obtain the mail part from one plant, we generally use scissors and tweezers to extract the part from the plant but pulling it works well:  

Then use the part to place the pollen on the female part of the plant. Be careful to get the pollin on the part. 

About six to eight weeks latter there appears a maturing seed pod ready for picking. The actual pod will initially appear in a few days but it takes quite a while to mature. One must be patient.

Pods form quickly, in some cases in days.  The pods mature in weeks and we generally do not open them until they start to crack open by themselves.
