Solution

This procedure is called Self-fertilization. In self-fertilization, blossoms trade dust with same bloom or another bloom on a similar plant. Any remote dust that lands on a blossom from an alternate bloom are rejected. Self fertilization does not generally guarantee hereditary variety since hereditary material between same plants is traded.
