Zucchini - the first female flower


Things changed. The first female flower appeared (recognizable by the mini zucchini right under the flower, compared to the absence of which in the male version). After two weeks of shrinking excitement about the yellow bloom, the plant again receives much more attention when I'm doing my plant checking round. I'm excited. 
The female flower is currently still quite small, and I'll hope that not all male flowers are dried up by the time the other one is ready to get fertilized.
