First two blooms on my cucuzza .... female and male flower. They bloomed last night. They were turning dark beige and drooping this morning so I hope some bee was out & about late & pollination occurred!

Oh, wow, they look healthy and happy. So excited for you. My cuccuzza baby that was about four inches long at 1:00am, Sunday when I was playing nut on a ladder..
It's now 17 inches long.. It's only about 1.25 inches across, though. I wish it would start fattening up, and quit getting longer.
I was wondering if putting string lights out there at night would attract night time pollinators, or just bad bugs. Oh, well, so far, they don't seem to need my help.
BTW, did you notice the leaves have a burnt hair smell? I hope it is some natural defense mechanism.
What a beautiful bloom. All your photos are so gorgeous. I’m afraid I’m a failure at squash, yet I love all of them so much.
