Cross breeding flowers of the same family?

how would i cross breed a starlight zinnia and any magnolia?


can i do that with any flower?


or does it have to be within in the same family?

Cross breeding flowers of the same family?
Although some plants can hybridize, it's typically most likely between congeneric species i.e., two species that belong to the same genus. Getting two species that belong to different families to successfully hybridize is highly unlikely in the vast majority of species. In your case, Magnoliaceae and Asteraceae are very distantly related families, further reducing those odds.
