Most Cannabis plants are dioecious, meaning they have imperfect (male or female) flowers on separate plants. What we growers commonly refer to as a hermaphrodite, is actually called a monoecious plant- male flowers on a female plant- both sexes of imperfect flower on the same individual. A TRUE hermaphroditic flower is a single flower bearing both male and female organs; a perfect flower. This true hermaphrodite is considerably less common in Cannabis plants than monoecious individuals.
I've also never seen a photograph of such an occurrence, so here's mine.
In this closeup, we can see the two feathery stigma atop the shiny, dark, unripened ovary, flanked by the larger "naners" or stamen, all enclosed by the green sepals.
