Default No female flowers on my courgette
I am growing a lovely courgette in a large pot in the greenhouse. It has born many flowers, but only one of them so far a female flower! Is this natural?

It would appear to be the norm. I have read many threads on here about courgettes and cucumber and pumpkins/squashes all starting off with lots of male flowers. If you have one female appearing I guess the rest will be along soon.
