Cucumbers only producing female flowers

I'm growing the Green Dragon cucumbers and noticed that it's only producing female flowers at the moment. I have read that most cucumbers start with male flowers before producing female flowers. However this is not the case here. Does the environment impact whether male or female flowers are produced?

Not familiar with the variety. Is that one of the seedless ones? If so they are all female and produce seedless fruit with no pollination required. Parthenocarpic , I believe is what they are called. Probably miss-spelled that one. :) Any way, give it some time.

I have no idea if this variety just produce female flowers. I guess I just have to be patient.
