CC, who is YOU?

Sherry, yes I pollinate flowers. In the beginning I would just rip off an anther and go up to another bloom on another plant and stick the pollen end onto the stigma of that flower. I would wait till the bloom fell off and if the peduncle was left on I was pretty sure it had taken. I would gently feel the end of the peduncle thru the calyx and soon I would feel a ball forming. Within a few weeks it was obvious to my eye I had accomplished pod!

I stole this pic from Dave's a couple of years ago. I do not know to whom I should give credit.
