All my cucumber flowers are 6 petal, a very few are 7. This is unique.
I can find no other 5 point flowers let alone one this amazingly
symmetrical.


Are there cucumbers on that plant? It doesn't look like a cucumber plant,
looks more like pumpkin, or some other gourd/squash


I have 3 plants in the same pot and about 3 dozen almost mature cucumbers at
the moment plus many more female flowers. It's a lemon yellow cucumber
plant. You can see an almost mature fruit to the left of the blossom.
