Squash plants have both male and female blossoms. The male blossoms don't produce squash, but they do serve to pollinate the female blossoms, and they're also great for cooking. Female blossoms are easy to identify—just look for a tiny squash at the base of each blossom.
In this video, Farmer Joe Smith, from Smith's Acres in Niantic, Conn., demonstrates how to tell the difference between male and female blossoms.
