if the pipinoes appear, then the flowers are being pollinated enough.
why they do not mature, is something else.

pwede but kasi doc there are 2 kinds of flowers for the pipino plant. one is the male - w/c is a pure flower, and the female - w/c has an immature pipino (ovary) behind the flower petals. if the immature pipinos don't develop and just wither out, that means there are little to no pollinators buzzing around. that's why i started resorting to hand pollination w/ a cotton bud. mano- mano na kung baga.

interesting nga din kasi the male flowers pala are the 1st to bloom a week or 2 before the female flowers in order to attract insects and signify the plant will be ready for business soon. nakakatuwa din subaybayan eh.
