It's pollination day for the 1400 Lopresti! I have a 5-lobed female about 14 feet out on the main vine, and she is almost perpendicular to the vine. Couldn't ask for much more than that! I was not expecting the flower to open up today, and of course last night I was house sitting for somebody and didn't get to my house until about 1:30pm today. The flower was still open when I got there, so hopefully all is good. I didn't have any male flowers on my other "neglected" pumpkin plant at home, and I didn't have time to get to my 1695 Gaboury at the Bangor Community Garden, so I decided to self-pollinate this plant. Let the excitement begin!
