(I'm talking pumpkin fertilization)
Look at how our pumpkin vine has grown!
The male blossoms are found close to the core of the plant and are born on long, slender stems.The female blossoms are found farther out on the vine and have a little pumpkin bud beneath it, a bud that will only continue to grow if it is fertilized with pollen from the male blossom.
This is the stigma of a female flower:

Beautiful photos. I hope your artificial insemination works and you get great big pumpkins! :)
I always got a little thrill out of garden sex with my zucchini plants.... lol I truly enjoyed plucking the male flowers and fertilizing the females and seeing how many would grow. hehe
Zucchini porn??? hehe
