Okay, I'll bite. How do you tell the difference between male and female
blooms?


Male flowers have stamens and female flowers have stigma. Just like boys
and girls.

What if all the flowers are all "boys" or "girls"? Case in point, my tomato
blooms seem to all have center projections inside their blooms.


You can look up dicots and monocots for a good explanation. Also on
female flowers in the squash family will be a swelling where the fruit
will develop and male flowers are on longer stems with no swelling at
the flower.
