Starting to get lots of male flowers on Galia melons

The melons are starting to get lots of staminate (male) flowers but no sign of any pistillate (female) ones yet. Still, it’s only early June and I understand this imbalance is usual at this stage. The Cantaloupes, which have been behind all along only have a few, but the Galias have quite a number.
Both sorts are growing stronly so I expect to see female flowers soon, at least on the Galias.
