The female flowers are open. I took some pictures and will post when I get a chance. One thing. The female flowers produced a gelatinous nectar. It was really really sweet(but not cloying) and stayed gelatinous in my mouth for a full 5 minutes.

I'm sure that if it was collected, dried and pressed it would be equivalent to Wonka's Everlasting Gobstopper.
