Speaking of male vs. female flowers . . . Many gardeners have wondered (complained) that their squash plants produce only male flowers. I’ve heard that this is Mother Nature’s way of luring in bees and other pollinators. Once they’ve learned that this is where they’ll find yummy flowers, out come the females to get down to business.

If you have a lot of male squash blossoms you can harvest and eat them. (Provided they are not full of bugs!)

Brave's AI summarizes: "Fried squash blossoms are a popular Italian-inspired dish, typically made with zucchini blossoms stuffed with a savory filling and then battered and fried to a crispy golden brown."

Lots of recipe variations online.
