Bottle gourds are night blooming. Nocturnal pollinators such as moth and beetles pollinate them. Unfortunately heat has killed most pollinators/pest these days or they are hibernating, as weather is changing you will have moths and beetles coming up.....till then if you want quick results attempt hand pollination. Search internet how to hand pollinate.
