Only Males

Day 2   13th January
The pumpkin patch looks very healthy after all the rain. There are plenty of flowers blooming, but since the last batch of pumpkins they have all been male flowers.  What is causing this?  Could it be the rain? Do female flowers know to wait for the sunshine? My fear is that finallyy the females will appear and there will be no males to fertilize them. They are open for such a short time, usually closing by midday. They have to come out to play together.
