Which flower? or both?

[CAPCOM]

When conducting a cross, which plant do you concentrate on as the recipient of the genetic material? or do you pollinate both parent plants? I would imagine it makes a difference for a whole host of reasons. I think I would be inclined to go with both just to see how the offspring differed in the next generation.

Until we know what genes are transferred by the mother or father plant, cross them both.

I don't think it matters for the same species. It's good practice to do it both ways unless you're working with two species you know will only cross one way.
