yes
No. The fertiized flower produces the pumpkin.
Yes it can.
A pumpkin flower is typically yellow in color. However, depending on the variety of pumpkin plant, the flower can also appear in shades of orange or even white.
It typically takes about 8-12 weeks for a pumpkin fruit to develop after the flower blooms.
A pumpkin flower typically has five stamens and one pistil. The stamens are the male reproductive parts of the flower, while the pistil is the female reproductive part. The arrangement allows for effective pollination, which is essential for fruit development.
The pumpkin seed comes from the pumpkin plant from the genus Cucurbita. The plants are mainly vining, though there are few bushing vareities. The plants have large green fuzzy leaves. The vines can reach 12 feet and length. The vines grow male and female flowers which are yellow in color. The pollen comes from the male flower, and into the female flower which after a successful pollination begins to grow the pumpkin. See the round ball at the base of this female flower? After pollination, that ball begins to grow. The flower dies and falls off, but that ball grows and becomes the pumpkin.
you may have a male plant. in which case it will not produce fruit but it will flower
I do believe that pumpkin flowers are edible, and can be substituted for any squash flower recipe.
In 2012 Ron Wallace had his 2009 pound pumpkin weighed at the Topsfield Fair in Massachusetts. Ron grew his record ONE TON pumpkin on the 1725 Harp seed and crossed it with the 1409 Miller.Here is an explanation of seed crossing. The first seed listed is the seed that will actually grow the pumpkin. This is the female and cross it means that someone takes a male flower and pollinates (usually hand pollinates) the flower(female) that you want to grow. For example:1725Harp seed (female flower that will be the pumpkin) and crossed it with the 1409 Miller (male flower). You get 1724Wallacex 1409Miller. If someone pollinates a female flower with a male flower from the same seed it is self an example would be 1725 Harp x self if indeed someone did only plant one seed.The number listed 2009 is the weight of the original pumpkin from where the seed was taken. The word after is the person's name or nickname that grew it. So the 2009 Wallace was a 2009lb pumpkin that a man named Wallace grew. It is done this way to trace the lineage of pumpkins back several generations. In fact the name Wallace is iconic in growing giant pumpkins that when you see this name it is most likely going to be Ron Wallace from Massachusetts.

The pumpkin flower has both male and female parts...this is called monoecious (one house). Other plants have separate male and female plants dioecious (two houses).
The state fruit is indeed the pumpkin, but I believe New Hampshire is also known for its seafood. New Hampshire's state flower is the Purple Lilac, and their state tree is the White Birch.
