Default How to cross pollinate bananas?

I'm looking to cross two seeded banana varieties. Anybody got some good directions on hand pollinating banana blossoms? I'm looking for the whole directions thing along with pictures if possible. Gabe?? =)

Thanks!

It's pretty easy, just be careful. You may find yourself with hundreds of hybrid seeds like I did and start plowing up the lawn in the front yard to have a place to grow them.
