Can I pollinate my petunias myself?

I have alot of petunias I want to keep in the house, but I know if I do, there willl be no chance of collecting seeds from them because they will not be pollinated. Is there a chance I can pollinate them myself?

Yes. Even your finger will do. Just poke your finger into each flower in turn, and diddle it around. The pollen will move from flower to flower on your finger.
Reply:You can "be the bee" using an artist's paintbrush to spread the pollen to other flowers. I read about this in The $64 Tomato.
