This is the fist time that I have tried this and I have no clue if this will work. From reading and/or watching videos

I took a Q-tip - A 2-inch piece of 15 lb fishing line
Taped the fishing string to the Q-tip - leaving about 1.5 inches of string
Placed the fishing line down the throat of the flower til it hit bottom
Brought the string back just little bit
Spun the q-tip so that the string went around in circles
Pulled it out and went to another flower (I did four flowers and will see what will happen)

So what that does is two things - it drops the pollen down and you hope that it takes and starts to produce a seed pod and the second thing it does is takes the left over pollen to another flower.

Who knows if it will work but I tried four of the Smiling
