Cantaloupe requires 35 to 45 days to mature from flowering, depending on the temperature. Female blossoms have a small swelling or bulb at the base of the flower. Keep in mind that cantaloupe blossoms have a pollination window of one day. Pollen must be transferred from the male flower to the female flower on this day for seed set and fruit development.
