Male or Female squash flower?

How can we tell?

Yellow Squash Flower

Is the above yellow squash flower male or female?

Let's look at the picture below and find out:

THIS YELLOW SQUASH FLOWER IS FEMALE because
it developed a squash from it.

A zucchini squash with its flower attached.
The zucchini blend in with the flower, leaf stems.

Let's look under the Squash leaves to see if we

 can see a male flower.  

 The male flower looks like the female flower but has no squash growing from it. 

The picture below is a male flower. No squash growing from it just a flower and stem.

A squash flower that is male...no squash growing from it.
