Looking for some help determine the sex of my papaya tree. Looks to me to be either female or hermaphrodite. Any ideas? These are the first flowers to open.

Does anyone have pictures of all three flower types?

I was going to say that it looked like a hermaphrodite flower.  You can see the flower below, which I know to be a hermaphrodite because it was the only papaya plant I had at the time and it produced fruit.  Its just starting to flower again now, while still holding some fruit ripening from last year.  I have only had 3 plants which all turned out to be hermaphrodites, so I don't have photos of male or female.  All three of my plants were sold as "Hawaiian Solo" papaya variety.  I think I posted something a couple of years ago, which you can probably do a search on and others responded with photos, perhaps even male and female flowers.
