Our zucchini plant started blooming in mid May. Female flowers started making their first appearance in late May. The flowers were a bright yellow and bloomed early in the morning and closed by noon.
Female flowers are characterised by a swollen bulb and are closer to the base of the plant. Male flowers are on a simple stalk and are taller. Male flowers are abundant too.
In a couple of weeks (in mid June) our first full grown zucchini presented itself!
