Squash/zucchini/pumpkin flower ID please
I have a volunteer floweriing in the back yard. I have never grown any
members of this group so it must have come from a bird or some other vector. Anyone know what it is? Flower is 5-6" across, largest leaf is 9" across. Flower is actually sulfur yellow but I can't seem to get the pic color right. It hd one flower close already but it just dropped off instead of forming any sort of fruit. |

Often the female flowers growing start after the male flowers. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

Without seeing the fruit, it is impossible to identify the cultivar. It would be one of the following. 'Jack O'Lantern' pumpkin 'Connecticut Field' pumpkin ' 'Acorn' or 'Table Queen' squash 'Vegetable Spaghetti' 'Zucchini', 'Yellow Crookneck' and Bush Scallop summer squash Small, hard shell gourds Edible gourd Vegetable gourd -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://www.democracynow.org/2010/6/2...al_crime_scene |
