Is there any technical procedure I should follow, or should I just mash the two open flowers on each other? Also how long do I have to cross-pollinate before they self polinate themselves? Meaning would it be too late to cross pollinate a flower if it already opened and closed?
Smooshing is the easiest but not the most effective approach. Some people use toothpicks and specifically transfer pollen. I would think that by the time the flower has closed it would be too late, but I'm not sure. I'm speculating that it is analogous to ovulation and menstruation - a window of opportunity.
