I was in the garden one day and had a play with two flowers, adding
 pollen from the plant growing alongside after emasculating them. I took
 pollen from Sweet Ozark Orange crossing it to Nicoleta. I never really 
expected anything, but tagged the two flowers and bagged them. A week or
 so later, one flower dropped off, leaving just the one. A few weeks 
passed and the embryo started to get some size, so you just never know 
what will happen.
As it happened, the plant got attacked badly by Russett Mite and it 
was a toss up if the fruit would ripen enough to get viable seeds, but 
it was touch and go but managed to extract a few seeds.
Last photo is the Nicoleta with what I hope carries the pollen of Sweet Ozark Orange.
