 I have heard different people talk about lack of pollination during
 heat periods.  Does the heat keep the female flower from opening all
 together or just not take pollination?  I have a female flower I have
 been waiting on for 3 or 4 days.  It seems it hasn't changed much and I
 wondered if the heat was the cause of it not opening.

Not usually, it will open earlier in the day on a hot one.  Sometimes the
plant will not grow the flower to maturity, I had that problem on one plant
this year.  It also takes quite a few days for the bloom to be mature enough
to open.
