Does this female flower look healthy?
14 years ago
Does the flower in the photo seem healthy? There are three on the same vine about the same size. Do you think it will get bigger? Should I get rid of one or two to promote growth?
I'm afraid to do so 'just in case the remaining one doesn't blossom.
A lot of the female flowers on a different pumpkin plant that were this size never blossomed and died. Very disappointing.
The female flowers that did blossom were a lot bigger.
Help!
Thank you.
