I posted one of a male and female next to each other on the plant, then it was supposed to be a female about to open, then a male, then another female that is probably too early, then my prideNjoy pumpkin. The female about to open messed up in transmit so it will show up after the prideNjoy pumpkin on next submittal update. I bagged the two ready to go, and will know in the morning if I guessed right. And I will update here if that's true.

One didn't post, so page through to #242 as I reposted it.
The first one I have there is the male and female next to each other, and a total of five if you include the Freddie the pumpkin pic.

Update, I was exactly right. Both are FAT, turned yellow, and starting to crack open in the dawnish just sun peeking hour here. I have a little while yet until they open enough to do the deed. So posts # 239 and # 242 show male and female the day before they open.

Added a few more pictures and waiting for them to post, of the morning of the event. I will add usually you need one male to pollenate one female, but to be safe bag an extra male or two.
