Hi. Male flowers are smaller in size and the base of female flowers is larger. Besides, typically male flowers open first on the plant, and they are growing at the tip of the plant

JaunDiTrani - how can you tell? I guess I will look for a different looking flower and take a picture and assume that is a female?
