I always thought the male and female parts were both in the bloom. Now, I understand why I get fruit from some of the blooms and others I do not. Thanks for the information. Frank p.s. I think I'll start carrying a Q-tip around with me since I really don't think my bubble bee pollinators know about male and female blooms. Hi Phil-
