Hi, Zucchini and other squash produce both male and female flowers with only the female flowers producing squash. The male flowers usually are out first followed by the female. so it looks like you may have all male flowers right now and have to wait for females to show up in order for you to start getting fruit. Once that happens you will have zucchini.
