 Does anyone know why a female blossom flower would shrivel up just
 before it looks as if it was to open in a day or so?  I think
 one of these shriveled females was on my cracked stem, so that one I
 can understand.  But I have another one on a different plant that
 seems to have shriveled up.  The rest seem OK.  Any ideas?

Not uncommon, my 553 plant did that to 3 blossoms before it started to
produce mature flowers then set 3 pumpkins in a row.  I also threaten to pull
it out just before it started to produce.
