You're viewing a single thread.
That’s a male flower. On female flowers you will see a small zucchini attached to the flower.
Oh.... Do they not bloom at the same time?
Yes but it’s common for the first few to be male, then you will get a mix of male and female. Plant looks great I think you’re going to get great zucchinis. Just keep them away from me I don’t like zucchini 😆
I agree that a few males bloom first. Not the I don’t like them part 🙂
Sometime they can bloom with a little offset on the same plant.
That's why it's good to have a few plants to create interactions between them.
Female flowers can also be fertilised by hand.
