Male Flowers for Pollen: 2294.5 Noel ’19 x self
Being the only pumpkin plant in the area that is this old getting flowers have to come in house. With the main vine oddity, it off set some of the flower timing so the fear is there would be a female flower with no males opening on the same day.
Well as can be seen in the image, this was not a concern with seven males used for pollen. This is excessive, but this is one factor that the grower has control over and it can be overdone with no negative side effects. One flower contains more than enough pollen and while three is the target number, since seven were ready the day of, why not use them all.
