    1.
    Who knows more? I bought seeds of the ornamental pumpkin and planted them, but the blossoms of one plant are white instead of the typical yellow of the Cucurbita pepo.

    2.
    Usually an annual plant in cooler regions, I wonder if the cucurbita pepo has a chance to survive it's fruit season here in the Caribbean?

    :scratch: Well if it wasn't for the leaves I would have said it was the flower from the 4'o' Clock plant.... But...... I did grow some ornamentals one year & I think there may have been one in there called White Cloud or something like it....:thumb: Have a google Sven can't remember any more...
