I stuck the two snipped guys in the fridge to cool off. They are the same two on the ground in the last photo.

I didn't really keep very good track of which flowers have opened and closed again. So, it's possible that one or two of the male flowers I've chosen have been open before and are spoiled. But, they couldn't all be. Besides, I've watched flowers open and close before. And, I am pretty sure that I can tell when a flower has been opened. Usually the tips of the petals don't close up quite as tightly as they were before it opened.

I sure do hope that I am doing all of this right. I also hope that I didn't step on anything important in the dark. I already know that it was a bad idea to compact the soil while it's wet. But, I am gambling that compaction is better that than missing a chance to pollinate.
