I have two plants that have male flowers with leaves on the male flowers. What causes this?

Here is a link to some pics I took of one I picked:

Hmmm, Looks like just the Sepals are involved. Does it open it's petals normally?

Wow. That's strange. I wonder what they would do if they were allowed to grow without snipping them off. I'm not suggesting you do that. Just curious.

Its on two plants, side by side, one is a squash, the 611.5* Gadberry, the other a pumpkin, the 667 Kline. It has just happened over the weekend. Or atleast I didn't notice it until today and I was in the patch everyday except yesterday, so since friday morning.

Not very uncommon at all.

Does anyone know what the cause of this is? Genetic? A nutrient imbalance?
