RE: false bloom

How well does this grower know pumpkins?
One novice mistake is seeing male flowers (with no ovary) & assuming it has
no use. It took me a year to convince my neighbor of this fact.

If you think it will help, share this link with the person. Male & female
flowers.

Hi Jim,

The plant does not exist yet. Apparently this is something she has had 
problems with in the past and was looking for advice as we begin to get 
ready for the growing season. She is located in northern Wisconsin. I 
tend to think you are on to something with weak or heat stressed flowers.

Has anyone else out there heard the term "false bloom"?

Greg
