This is the first flower on the Cantaloupe plant.
Thank you JuanDiTrani. I had no idea.
Hi.Male flowers are smaller in size and the base of female flowers is larger.Besides, typically male flowers open first on the plant, and they are growing at the tip of the plant
JaunDiTrani - how can you tell? I guess I will look for a different looking flower and take a picture and assume that is a female?
its a male flower
