Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

So, how rare is this?

I took this picture this morning of a double male squash bloom I found on a Sunray Straightneck Hybrid. This is the first one I have seen, but I've only be raising squash for a couple of years. Does this happen very often?

Thanks,

Mark

I've been gardening all my life and can't recall seeing a male blossom like that. It's fairly common to see doubled female blossoms with 2 'Siamese Twin' zukes/summer squash connected down the length of the fruit. But, not male blossoms. Nice picture.
