Re: Pollenation

I am trying to save seeds from the following plants:

Papaver
Aquilegia
Campanula - Cup and Saucer

I don't know how to go about selfing these plants, or if it's worth the
trouble.  The papaver that I want to get seed from is Turkelouise.  The
aquilegia is one of the McKana Giants that I started last year and I have a
beautiful dark purple with pale purple cups.  My neighbor brought over a
campanula - cup and saucer in a pot.  All of mine that I started from seed
only have the cup - not saucer.  So I thought that if I selfed the cup and
saucer plant I could save those seeds and get the right thing.

Just don't know how to go about it.  Does the papaver self easily.  I have
some great nylon tool netting that I can use to protect from bee pollination,
but I am not sure how to go about selfing these plants.  Any help or
suggestions would be appreciated
