Can I use pollen from other plants to pollynate a pumpkin flower ?
Question:
Answers:
No. Pollen from a different species of plant won't work, because different species can't interbreed. If you're talking about other pumpkin (or other, very closely related) plants, then maybe, but you'd be getting a hybrid with unknown characteristics.
yes but be careful not to get stung by the mad bee who job you have taken
You can try. That's how hybrids are created. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

A bee is much better, but you can do it!
A like plant maybe but then it would be some kind of wierd hybrid. Like plants I think would be cantalope, watermelon, summer squash. Cantalope and pumpkin doesn't sound too bad but watermelon no, no, no.
