those are the preflowers. they are older than the rest of the calyxes so they will look more ripe early on.
see the hairs portruding? hair = female. 2 hairs will project from any 1 calyx. also note it stays in the nook. it does not project out on a twig nor multiply (look like grapes). female bits don't multiple in the preflower spots. 1 per branch. whether you ahve asymmetrical growth or not is whether oyu see 2 or not at any 1 growth node.
