I forgot that this flower would be opening today. So, It'll go down as yet another open pollination on the 300 Gerry plant.

Upon further inspection, the little black specks in the flower are not bits of soil. They are actually moving on their own! I also noticed a small wasp camped out underneath the lobes. It's there in the photo, you just can't see it. I wonder if the mini-bugs are from the wasp. In any case, it's probably time to spray some pesticide again. I'll try to do it later in the day when the bees aren't still out and the sun won't burn my face off.
