My zucchini flowers are likewise maturing at different rates. A week ago, the females started flowering. Not a male bud in sight.
Without any male flowers ready to take responsibility for fathering a zucchini, I had to pick them while still tiny, or watch them rot.
Two days ago, the males started flowering, but had no pollen. Finally, today, two male flowers with pollen all grown up and ready to be daddies. Hopefully, in a few more days we will have several growing zucchini. Here is a Black Beauty...
And a Lebanese light green.

Ohhh that's so cute about T-kun. Amy' best buddy is a little boy but in a completely gender oblivious way.
You're eating zucchini already??? Wow. We just planted ours!
M's best friend was a boy at 3, but they were pals. And she was really hurt last year when he decided he preferred playing nantoka ranger with male friends.
L is all dreamy over this boy. Or she was until Friday. Apparently, he told her that her handkerchief wasn't cute. Maybe he decided he no longer wanted to be giggled about.
Give it a few weeks. I can't believe how fast zucchini plants grow!
