Pollinated the first female on 864.5 Companion, self-pollinated with two males. I covered all three flowers last night with nylon stockings. This morning, the flowers literally popped right open when I removed the stocking. This female is about 6 feet out so its location is not ideal. There is another female at 10 feet that I will also pollinate in several days. The one in the image from today's pollination is certainly odd-looking. This image and the next one shows malformed stigma, and maybe even a second partially formed stigma in the same flower. These pumpkins are really genetically mish-mashed! We'll see if this fruit sets!
