| I am new to this site. Would appreciate information, website, forum posts. I would like to try to pollinate my flowers this summer. How hard is it to get a new flower or a variation of what you cross pollinate? (I want to start with Zinnias, cosmos and coreopsis) |

| Hey ladyrose! I did a quick search for you. Go to www.youtube.com and in the search text box at the top type "how to pollinate flowers." There is pleny there to get you started. I started with daylilies, which are easy. And I work with Amaryllis (hippeastrum) as well - also easy. But I wouldn't know where to start with the flower in your picture. Good luck |

| A good new book about hybriding coming out in March is "Plant Breeding for the Home Gardener" by Joseph Tychonievich. You can preorder on Amazon. I just read it and loved it and I'm in the business (of breeding). |
