minus-square PlantDna ( @PlantDna@mander.xyz ) linkfedilink7•1 year agoThat’s a male flower. On female flowers you will see a small zucchini attached to the flower.

minus-square NataliePortland ( @admin@thegarden.land ) linkfedilink4•1 year agoYes 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 😆
minus-square PlantDna ( @PlantDna@mander.xyz ) linkfedilink3•1 year agoI agree that a few males bloom first. Not the I don’t like them part 🙂
minus-square jbz ( @jbz@slrpnk.net ) linkfedilink2•1 year agoSometime 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.
