Yes, it is the two different shapes of flowers on a cucumber plant that are referred to as the male and the female, not the whole plant.
Hi Lynette, hope this helps you out,
Inspect the bright yellow flowers growing on the cucumber plant. Look behind each flower for a small immature cucumber growing behind it. Female flowers have this immature bloom, known as an ovary, growing behind it, while male flowers do not. Male flowers grow on a thinner-looking stem. Check the length of stems.
