Bee On Pumpkin Flower Stock Photography

Assuming all has gone well, sometime in July, your pumpkin plant will begin to produce flowers. First to arrive, are the male flowers. They usually appear in large numbers, a week or two before the first female comes upon the scene. New growers often worry that there is something wrong with the plant, as no females have appeared. This worry is heightened when talking with experienced growers who will be a week or two ahead of novice growers, and boast of pumpkins already growing on the vine. Never fear, your pumpkin plant will eventually develop female flowers with tiny fruit attached below the flower.
