Are my Heirloom tomato flowers developing OK?

11 years ago

Hi everyone.

Many of you have lent a lot of support a few months back when I was getting ready for this season, after a total failure last year...

This year things are looking better and I am optimistic, although last year the plants were also looking fine in their early stages, but failed later...

At this point I would like to ask about the flowers of three of my plants:

Pic 1- Brandywine Sudduth- sepal (outer green part) looks fully developed but not much on the yellow parts inside. Are these normal?

Pic 2- Paul Robeson- same as above...

Pic 3,4- Black Krim- looks like large beautiful flowers! Are these fused? I saw no pollen flying around when I did the electric toothbrush attempt at encouraging self polination. On other plants, with smaller, 'normal' flowers, there was a nice little cloud of pollen released...
