Speechless Sunday ~ Pumpkin Flower

I found this little pumpkin when searching for the perfect pumpkin at the pumpkin patch! I have never seen anything like this. I couldn't believe how much this looks like a flower! This of course is the pumpkin I chose. My husband wasn't all that thrilled, so he got his own! I think it is perfect.

Pumpkin is a form of a squash, although the pumpkin has a much more rigid, prickly stem than a squash. According to Wikipedia, the oldest found seeds date back to as early as 7000 BC and were found in Mexico. The pumpkin plant actually does flower, although the bright, colorful flower has a very short life span; as little as one day. Pumpkins are grown worldwide and of all of the continents, Antarctica is the only continent unable to grow them. The US has the largest crops of pumpkins and produces 1.5 BILLION pounds annually. The top producing pumpkin states are California, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I was meeting with a client at her house the other day & we were walking the property and came across her lemon tree & two of the strangest looking mutated lemons, client picked them & I showed them to my two sons, it is amazing the beauty nature can produce!

Very cute pumpkin, Stephanie. I would have brought it home, too and my husband would have bought his own too, so I completely understand. Keep her for as long as you can.

Thank you all! I am glad I could share this unique little thing with someone other than my husband who really doesn't appreciate it as much as I do!
