I forgot to pollinate last night but I pollinated my gourds this morning. Will they take or not? Or is it to late?

pollination seems to be a geographical question to some
degree. Friends in Canada pollinate in the evening.
I pollinate in the morning because my blooms wait till
then to open. I suspect it has to do with how warm or cool it might be.

They opened in the middle of the night.

They may have already been pollinated? I think we've all "missed" some before and only found them when they were a foot or more in length! In some areas there are moths and other bug types that do the deed unbeknownst to us! Good luck!

They should take, I have successfully pollinated gourds in the evening and in the morning as well.
