Totally easy - just grab some pollen from one flower and put it on the
stigma of another flower.
That makes you a hybridizer.
Some would say you aren't a 'real' hybridizer until you register,
introduce, and sell a seedling. Similar to not being a 'real' artist
until you sell a piece of art. Pollen daubers are beginners, I think.
Jump in! Have fun! Rummage thru the HYB threads in the archives.
Also, several websites linked from the AIS website have quite a bit of
info on hybridizing.
<So, how hard is it to get into hybridizing?? ;-) ~Bo~>
