Thanks for the video. When you bagged the flower, it was facing skyward. The stigma is on the top. If there's no pollinator, how did the pollen get from below the stigma up to it to pollinate it? Did you take the bag off and hand pollinate after it opened (day or 2 later)?
I generally allow ornamental flowers to do their own thing. Marigolds will self seed for me. However depending on their reproduction of the flower you are saving seed from, you could apply the same techniques of isolation.
High quality. I liked your explanation; it was very clear.

Extremely informative thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Okay thanks, I was going to scrap the whidby project bc of other varieties nearby. That's what the bags' for!...feeling doofus
Can you show the cross pollination process? If one wants to purposefully cross two okra varieties together?
I recorded this process last year and will put a video together about it ASAP.
Is this done early in the morning?
It doesn't need to be done early unless you are bagging buds on the day they'll actually open?
Hi friend do you pollinate Dahlia zinnia Marigold flowers please video upload thanks
