What is a Hybrid Car?

A hybrid car is a one that uses more than one energy source to power the car. A gasoline engine and an electric battery run it. These are what we now know as the Gas Electric Hybrid Cars.

A hybrid car can either be a full hybrid or an assist hybrid type. A full hybrid is a car that can run either with a gasoline engine or through batteries or both, while a gasoline engine primarily runs an assist hybrid and the battery takes charge of the gas engine when gas runs out.

There are three most popular hybrid cars in the market. The first car that had been released was the Japanese-made Toyota Prius in 1997, and then followed by Honda Insight, also a Japanese-made car, which was released to the American and Canadian markets in 1999.

What is involved in creating a Hybrid plant exactly?

I pollinated an Iris with a Tiger Lily and vice versa.
And then I covered both flowers with a plastic bag.

Now, do I just plant the seeds and they will grow into a hybrid or is there more involved?

Thankyou

Yes if they formed seeds you have indeed probably made a hybrid. I do not know off the top of my head how closely they are related phylogenetically. It is possible that the cross will not work and instead you have spontaneous doubling of chromosomes (double haploid) which is also pretty cool. When you made the cross were you sure to emasculate the flowers before they made pollen?. Let me know how it worked out.
