A variety of squash I hadn’t seen before. I should have bought one, or at least learned the name of it. I was more interested in photographing it than eating it.

I'm always amazed at how many different colours, shapes & textures pumpkins, squash & gourds come in! Here's a colourful display! Best viewed large!

A pumpkin is a cultivated winter squash in the genus Cucurbita. The term is most commonly applied to round, orange-colored squash varieties, but does not possess a scientific definition. It may be used in reference to many different squashes of varied appearance and belonging to multiple species in the Cucurbita genus. grokipedia.com/page/Pumpkin

I'm not sure which squash this blossom belongs to, we'll see in a month or so.
Bored Sunday morning.
Two bits of black card on the dinning room table.
Three squash from the supermarket...
Tripod, camera shot straight into Lightroom CC via tethered connection.
A football-sized French variety. It was the colour of the flesh that enticed me to take it out on to our front doorstep to photograph. An even better colour when cooked.
Due to chronic poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours on my photostream. Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace.
Pruinose squash bee
Up to 80% of insects co-evolved with plants. This bee only pollinates flowers in the squash/gourd family. Since we had so much rain this year, they are finally able to emerge and pollinate the flowers.
I have a thing for vines...I love the simple elegance they use to get the job done!
I was also pretty happy with the bokeh colors here...there were eggplants and squash flowers in the background ; )
These make a great alternative to burgers. Cut them into thick slices and fry, add provolone cheese, and fresh sliced tomato, put them in a bun.
A French variety. Although sown late it produced 3 squashes like this one.

I was at the local farm market yesterday when the little tractor came in from the fields towing a wagon and then unloading these Carnival Squash into the bin. Fresh from the fields.
It's the time of the year that the garden is front and center....not just for produce, but for photos!
Thanks for the Explore and your many views and comments....They are most appreciated!
I know nothing of the various squashes that we can grow and eat. My sister, in Switzerland, calls them all pumpkins, but, to me, a pumpkin is what Cinderella went to the ball in - big and orange! I know a butternut squash too of course, but what is this one? And does it actually matter?
Last fall, after the people at the Allen Farm had harvested all their different varieties of squash, I took some time to record them. I set up a mini-studio next to the squash pile and used a tripod, black velvet background, and natural light to record about 25 varieties. This is one of them.
I am amazed at how many different shapes, sizes, and colors these squash come in. Each one is an art object.
