So, I know how to cross pollinate vegetables and make hybrids, but i'm stumped on flowers.... I get the process is similar, but the outcome is a bit different. With vegetables your hybrids come after cross pollinating the flowers (male n female), but with flowers I'm guessing you cross pollinate and will have the hybrids in the seeds for the next planting??

I'm not entirely sure though ^_^; new with flowers, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

It is exactly the same. Note that species come true, but hybrids don't. I have a rather nice set of Geums grown from bee crosses. Waiting for them to flower to see if I have anything different.
