Yes the first pic looks a lot yellower than the last one. Have you got any idea then 1066

well it was only becasue when I was on my plot the other day some of my Rouge Vif D'Etamps had changed from the bright yellow to a deep orange colour that made me think of it. I wonder if Betty got the seeds from a swap because I know I did put some of those seeds in. Here's a pic of 1 of mine from a couple of weeks agao (before the orange phase!)

Well I think that you could be right there cos It did come from Betty. ;D

on 2nd thoughts maybe not cos mine aren't as pointy at the top (if you see what I mean) they are flatter, but they had those white stripes and are now orange.
A photo from today might explain a bit better!

Definatly not that one..far too round.XX Jeannine

It could be a potimarron cross..

This is very puzzling.
I didn't sow seeds of any of the varieties mentioned so far and nothing I am growing looks anything like Shirl's.
I sowed a whole packet of Bonbons, but I can't remember now if anyone sent me Bonbons in the seed swap which I might also have sown.

It will be interesting to find out what it is!

[Jeannine]

It,s a Triffid squash, appears when you haven't grown it and is a mystery to all..don't get too close !!

Do we eat it or not :-\

[Jeannine]

It,s more likely to eat you ;D

It could be a potimarron cross..

I think that sounds likely, or even just a large Potimarron, mine are much smaller than Shirls tho  :D
