I never in a million years thought I'd be a wing man for a plant trying to have sex with itself.

Does that photo count as plant porn? Either way, thank you for the assistance; I will attempt that method.

I did this for my watermelon plants. I just never saw bees or bumble bees around the plants. I just used a small artists brush #3 or #4 and swabed it around the male flower and then then transfered the pollin to the female with the brush. Has to be done in the morning when the female flower first opens. The female is basicly only open for a day and then falls off.
