Loofas, like most concurbits...(cucumbers, gourds, squash) have male blooms that produce pollen and female blooms that produce fruit. This bloom seems to be male, as far as I can tell from the pic. The female blooms will be perched on the end of a miniature fruit. This plant family also produces male blooms for 1 to 2 weeks before they start producing female blooms...
Hope we get some loofahs this time.
