Female Squash Flower
The squash plant has male flowers, and female flowers, which each bloom for one day only, and are insect pollinated. I'm growing a few squash plants in the middle of my back lawn during this pandemic/lockdown/tyranny.
There she is, open and awaiting pollen from a nearby male flower! Notice the ovary (small squash) under the flower. This will swell and become the fruit and seeds if pollination occurs.

I hope your garden is growing well this year!

A healthy looking squash plant. :-)
Thanks! I hope it produces some nice squash, they'll be perfect baked with some maple syrup dribbled over top, or just steamed and pureed for my baby boy to eat.
Nice one bro, keep it up :)
;)) I appreciate that bro, and I will do my best. Have a great Friday!
You too man ;)

I have much to learn, but that's one of the best things about gardening, you are always learning and growing (as a person). There's always more to experience and nothing is ever exactly the same as it was before. Working with plants is a rewarding adventure I hope to be able to continue for decades.
