courgette flowers

courgette flowers are of 2 kinds the female flowers have a baby fruit behind them the male flowers only have a stem behind them.
Unless pollen is moved from the male to the female, by bees etc, the babies will just wither and die
Unless of course you invested in one of the new self fertile varieties.

You can of course remove a male flower and insert the inside 'bits' into the female flower, if you understand what I mean 

Your cougettes are doing well if they're flowering already! Greenhouse?
You usually get a mass of female flowers then a mass of male and then both together which is when the fruit will set.
Every year I get excited when I see the female flowers......

hi yes there in the greenhouse just one early plant. im confused which flowers are the male or female? there was lots of flowers and no fruits then flowers with courgettes behind? im excited as they seem to change daily! all good fun
