1)  Take the anthers from one plant (pollen parent)
2)   Choose pod parent.  Place the pollen between the  stigmatic lip and the 
style crest.  There is a  small 'pocket' or  recess that contains honey dew.  
If this area is dry and does not glisten,  a 'take' is unlikely to occur.  
 
For those that emailed me privately, I will attempt to answer before the  
week-end is over.
