After putting the pollen on the stigmas, put a tie on label, such as used in Flea markets, around the stem of the flower, put the date, and the varieties crossed on the label. Leave the flower alone from this point.Let the old wilted bloom fall off on its own.After a few days when the flower falls off a small pod should start to develop.The calyx is the star shaped outer part with the seed pod located inside of the calyx.
