2154 Sperry '23: Pollination Day Plant View

The intended keeper is under the chair with the white sheet over it. The back-up female flower is closer to the main vine growing tip and is under a 5-gallon paint strainer bag to provide some protection and shade.

Overall, the plant timing is right about where it should be for pollination time as there are a few secondaries that have been recently terminated. What has made this year a little odd is with some colder than normal weather and frequent cloud cover some early secondary vines have decided to just stop growing randomly. While this may not hurt growth in the long run, there are some gap areas in the early portions of the plant.
