This morning I was surprised to see that the female blossom on Porkchop had opened sooner than I thought. No one was inside the flower, covered it with a plastic sandwich bag, and picked four males from the Weibel that were ready to be used. Pollinated the flower with the males and put the plastic bag back on. I did best for now to shield the blossom from the sun 88 for the high today and T-storms tonight. The blossom was pollinated at 8am, 14' out on main vine, blossom has four evenly shaped lobes, and the main is about 16' long. This plant is growing fast and is filling its secondaries. The female blossom on the Weibel should open in a few days, it is about 10' out on the main vine. Lot of sleepless night ahead with storms coming this week.
