This is a female squash bloom (even though I think it looks like a male part), they are the only one to actually produce squash. Yea, I didn't no that either. See...you can already see the little squash starting to form between the tiny bud and the plant.
This is a very pretty squash blossom. It is male. No matter what we do to it, it will never produce an edible squash. So even though we have had lots of blooms, these are the males and they are just for looks. Thank you Charles for this lesson in zucchini squash anatomy.
