How do I cross lilies for seeds

New to liles, do I se a small paint brush to polinate or ???????????. And then do I sae the seeds till spring or plant them right away?????????
Any help is greatly needed.......

I collect the stamen and anther of the pollen parent and rub it on the stigma of the pod parent. A couple of things to keep in mind:

1. Do your crosses within the same type of lily, or "division" as we call it. By that I mean cross Asiatic lilies with Asiatic lilies, trumpet lilies with trumpet liles. A cross of say, an Asiatic lily with a trumpet lily will very likely fail. Expert hybridizers use a technique known as "embryo rescue" for this type of cross and it takes special growing medium and sterile conditions to get the embryo to grow.

2. Don't cross a cultivar with itself.

3. Don't set seed on more than two pods on a stalk. The energy it takes to make seeds comes at a cost to the bulb.

4. If I want to make sure that the pollen parent is the same as the pollen I used (insects are busy little pollinators), I protect the stigma with a little foil cap before and after I pollinate. By that I mean I take a potential pod parent and protect the stigma before the petals have opened. After I pollinate, I replace the foil cap to keep insects out.

5. Germination: If you have a grow light system, you can start Asiatic, trumpet, and some species in the fall and keep them growing over the winter. I start mine in late December. Other lilies such as Orientals, martagons and some species need a warm/cold/warm sequence to germinate the first leaf. This is dissappointing to some people having little patience because it takes about 6 months to see the first green growth.
