Is this sanguinea orange male or female?

My sanguinea orange is flowering and I don't have experience in Nep flower ID.
Can anyone help me out?
I will be looking to get seed or pollen from this if possible.

Thanks,

The flowers aren't open? Looks like a female, though.
 
Congrats there Zero, you have a female.

Even though the flowers haven't yet opened, female flower buds are oblong ovals, while the unopened male flowers are little round balls...usually.:-D

Great!
Anyone have pollen?
 
ive got some ramispina pollen you can have zero, PM me your addy
 
I've got ventricosa and ventricosa x inermis pollen at the moment. My N. talangensis popped a hilariously small flower stalk recently and I'm hoping it's a girl... But I've got three huge male stalks from the aforementioned plants so there's more than enough to share.
I'll agree, it looks female to me too - but I'm pretty green so far as Nep breeding goes.

It's a girl. :)

I can't ever forget what one person on CPUK said: "Females are shaped like rugby balls while males are shaped more like spheres." ;)

I have only orchid pollen ATM.
