Cross-pollination attempts

Today I tried cross-pollination for the first time, between Indigo Rose and Kellogg's Breakfast.  The problem with IR Is that it's got small flowers that yielded little pollen, and had small stamens and anther cones' so I had trouble emasculating them without damaging the stigma.   KB was much easier as it's got large stigmas (stigmae?) and it was easy to peel away the anthers.
