Hi all! So in addition to my failed attempt at a big pumpkin I have two miniature pumpkins growing ... A jack be little and a baby boo. Both were started a little late, but now fruit is beginning to set nicely on the jack be little. The baby boo, however, is sprouting female flowers left and right but no males. The are planted in the same patch growing opposite directions.

Is there such a thing as a pumpkin with no male flowers? Or where have all then men gone?

It's been observed in cucurbits but not sure about in baby boo. It's called gynoecious if my spelling is correct.
