So, each year, I have had plenty of male zucchini flowers, but for some reason, NO female flowers ever appeared, so I got NO zucchini. Ever. I kept complaining that I had gay (male) zucchini plants. All men, no women. (I really do mean this is a funny, loving way.)
But this year, I bought a large, healthy zucchini plant from the garden store, and planted it in the garden right in full sun, hoping for the best. The plant has grown, and has been flowering like crazy. But I couldn't see any zucchinis growing.
But today.... I saw them! Both male and female zucchini flowers, and a tiny baby zucchini starting to grow! YAY!
Here is the male zucchini flower. Note the long, thin stem:

And here...ta da!... is the female zucchini flower with the zucchini starting to grow!

Zucchini bread, here we come!
