Frankenstein flowers!
These are on one of my squash plants, top photo was taken on 5th July, when I noticed some of the male flowers were producing pollen over the entire petal surface, and hadn't withered despite being a week old.
The bottom photo is 25 days later, and still the flowers haven't fully faded.
Around half the male flowers on the plant are exhibiting this "immortality"
Quite extraordinary.
