In both types of vines you will see a ball below the flower on the female flowers. Also the female flowers mature faster and tend to bloom further out from the root. When you manually pollinate vining crops such as pumpkins, watermelons,and cucumbers you will get a lot of seeds. 75% 3 Votes

• Flowers have both male and female parts...
  
  Just polinate all the flowers you see. There isnt one or the other...
  
  All flowers will produce, if pollinated.
