Here is a good example of why Megablooms have problems pollinating and why hand pollination is so important. This is a normal tomato flower I cut off today. You can see the anther cones are tightly bound to the style and stigma (female flower part) The pollen is released by the anther cones inside and has to travel down the anther cones and go right by the stigma (the green tip and the end of the anther cones) now let's look at another flower that is more like a Megabloom in the next entry
