Default Squash Flowers

How do you tell the male flowers from the female?


Male flowers have a thin stem. Female flowers have a thick or bulgy
stem. Once you examine a few of each, it'll become obvious which is
which.

Some squash plants only produce male flowers, I don't know why, but
I've seen this enough times to know it happens. Frex, I planted three
zucchini last year, all from the same seed pack, and only two ever had
female blossoms. The third had nothing but male blossoms.
