Let it grow and see what happens - keep it well watered in the hot weather.

Have a look at the thing growing inside the flower. Does it look like a male thing or a female thing? I think this will answer your question.

Female flowers have a tiny pumpkin at the base of the flower, males just have stem.

Why do my pumpkins get to the size of a fifty cent peace and go yellow and drop off

They haven't been pollinated. Try transferring pollen from male flower to female flower.

Can you let myself know how well pumpkins grow in South Canterbury, NZ? Is it possible to grow pumpkins all around N.Z.? JW Connelly

Select your climate zone, then go to the vegetable you want and then look up the planting guide. NZ cool climate plant Oct to Dec.
