Fossicking in the garden in cool October

Among the palm-like leaves, as shown in the top photo, are the female (L) and male(R) flowers of the Zucchini plant. In the second photo, the male flower lacks a swollen base, the ovary, the emergent zucchini. Both flowers are very attractive to bees which are the pollinating agents.
October 10 and there are still blooms on the plant. I did pan fry a few flowers and use that in an omelet.
