It would have opened tomorrow, but I removed it because I'd like the plant to get more time to grow before it starts diverting all of its energy towards a fruit. It looks like some ovules are stranded outside of the flower's ovary, something I've never seen before! I do wonder what effect this would have on the pumpkin, if I had pollinated the flower.
