That’s a male flower. On female flowers you will see a small zucchini attached to the flower.

Oh.... Do they not bloom at the same time?

Sometime they can bloom with a little offset on the same plant.

That's why it's good to have a few plants to create interactions between them.

Female flowers can also be fertilised by hand.
