A week ago, those flowers had developed fruit:
Four days later, the cucumber was several inches long (Yes, I should have thought to show it in comparison to something. Hindsight.):

Spoiler: Cucumber is possibly my least favorite vegetable. I will not be eating these when we harvest them, unless I decide I’m going to try making refrigerator pickles out of one of them. But Rudi loves cucumbers and is happy just to munch on one like a apple, which is why I planted it. And watching it grow has been sufficiently fascinating to make it a success for me.
I am trying to grow lil cukes in my garden for the food pantry!
I like them sliced thin , salted, rinsed . Then steeped in sugar and vinegar
Love cukes straight from the garden. When I was young, I used to eat them straight from the garden. I think my mother used to wonder what happened to her cucumbers. lol
