Hi all,

The attached picture shows the artists brush being used to deposit pollen onto a zinnia stigma. I chose that zinnia as a breeder based on the wavy edges of the petals, which give it a frilly look. I look for differences in flower form, as well as flower colors, color patterns, and plant habit.
