Thanks - I was just about to ask...

There's another way to fertilize if you're still unsure. Take your brush or
Q-tip and rub it around each flower in turn-- twice. That way, if you start
with a male, you'll fertilize all the females. If you start with a female,
you'll still get back to her after getting pollen from a male. This would be
time consuming if you had rows and rows of zucchini plants, but I only have the
one whiskey barrel so it works for me.
