Early Prolific Straightneck Squash

I planted Early Prolific Straightneck squash for the first time. The blooms are just now opening and I believe the squash is attached to the bloom. How can this be? When was the bloom pollinated if it just opened?

Are you sure what you are seeing is really the fruit? It does sound a bit early, especially since the male blooms normally appear before the female fruiting blooms, though it’s not entirely impossible. If it is indeed a baby squash, count your blessings! Looks like you’ll have a nice early harvest.
