2nd crosspollination attempt

I tried using anthers from a fresh Indigo rose, along with an old anther cone I saved last month. Recipient female: Black fom Tula, a full sized young flower still unopened with still-green anther cone.  I hope I did not damage the pistil, but it looks ok as far as I can see.  Not covering the pistil this time as my muslin covering sort of damaged the last attempts.  

 Looks like the heat and humidity are reducing fruit set on some varieties.
