    Easiest way to tell. Does the flower stalk have a lump at the bottom or is it straight? Straight = male flower. Lump at the bottom = female flower. The lump is the nascent courgette waiting to be fertilised.

    The first flowers tend to be male and female ones usually follow fairly soon, but who knows in this age of gender confusion? :*
