Aha! thanks for that!

The bees are loving them, so pollination is happening! :-)

Glad to hear that !
Some folks here, who overwinter crops indoors, will get 'Q-tips' to collect the pollen from the male flowers now, put the pollen laden 'Q-tips' in the freezer in a baggie,
and then use the 'Q-tips' to pollinate crops indoors during the winter.
The male pollen remains viable during the freezing.
Some people plant flowers just to encourage pollenaters to visit their gardens throughout the year.
