I am a new pumpkin grower and I just realized by reading that there are male and female buds. How can I tell which is which? Thanks.

The female flowers will have a tiny pumpkin right under the flower, where a male flower will have a straight stem right up to the flower bud.

im a newbie and if you get females they always come after males theres no mistaking females and if you look at peaple diaries it helps alot of growers show pics of females either open or about to open.
