  Takes a while before they show , give the plant a shake to make the pollen loose .

  When and where did you plant them?  I would not panic just yet.

  Make sure the bees can get to the flowers, open greenhouse windows, reduce leaves, promote airflow.

  Or you could always do the electric toothbrush trick if you're worried they're not getting pollinated

  Loads of flowers - but are they finished ? It would be unusual for flowers not to be pollinated at this time of year - if they're inside, there should  be plenty of ventilation and access being provided, and if they're outside, it would be odd if you had no pollinators visiting to do the job.

  After the flowers drop it can take a little while for the fruits to appear. As philippa says - the variety can affect the time too. 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  If you're growing beefsteak tomatoes (with the double flowers) - then it often happens I find. After 2-3 weeks of flower drop I usually see toms forming.
  I've only seen this on beefsteak toms though

  A pic of them may help
