Yes, overnights still in the 50s and low 60s with daily highs in the high 80s and up into 90s (heading back into triple digits in 48 hours). We often have jumps in morning temps of fifteen degrees per hour. Blinking And DH and I both commented that we were having a fairly rare morning with a little humidity. Though this one cultivar has seemed ready-to-over-ready, and fully open in the shade for each bloom, regardless of temps or times, so hearing about your experience is quite helpful.

As always, many thanks for helping me to frame it in a larger picture and gain some confidence about proceeding. You just made me realize I could also track whether it is setting pods any differently depending on when I pollinate ... your experience is "good coffee" for my sleepy-head this morning! Hurray!
