Harry, thanks for the grow report. As PhilaGardener and Bower mentioned, I would call those open flowers, because the anther cone is exposed so that it could in theory rub against the belly of a bee. Here's a photo I took a minute ago of a Big Hill flower. I've marked two traits that I consider important in a Big Hill flower: The exposed stigma, and the anthers being only minimally connected to each other.

The flared tips of the anthers in your photo is interesting to me. I don't know if that is typical of Big Hill. I guess fruit will be ripening in about 7 weeks. Hoping for another grow report then.
