You should get plenty of female flowers with the little courgette behind soon so it doesn't really matter that you've lost the male ones already. :)

The Italians use the flowers, stuff them and cook them as a delicacy.

I hear you can also coat them in a thin batter and deep fry them, though I've not tried that myself.

I have not got any female flowers yet but not worried as I only seem to get them when there has been a few of warm days in a row and they where to small to get any flowers the last time we had nice weather

Hi Compo49, We had the same problem a while ago and posted a similar question re our corgie flowers shrivelling.

Don't worry they'll be fine. Ours are now like this.



The stuffed male flowers are good too. :-)
