Hello,
Transfer pollen by hand using a small fine bristle artists paint brush.
Have you thought about covering you plants with a lightweight fleece to exclude any insects so that your cross is exactly what you want it to be.
Best of luck, the cross should be O.K. let me know how you get on. Just a thought, do you know how to gather seed and keep it until sowing time.
Best wishes,
Gerald.

Purely in the interests of science!
