    After the move out here last summer we found some seeds. Planted, just for fun, and low and behold they came up. Colorful, don't you think?

    That is very pretty, and colorful! Did you know you can eat the flowers? Never tried it myself,but read it in a recipe mag. Good luck with your squash!

    Yes, I did know you can eat the blooms. Most plants my brother-in-law would eat. He just loved them. Got to find somebody that can fry them up.

    Coastal,

    It is a little late to be asking for pictures. After all it has been two years since we planted these seeds.

    As I recall we didn't get any fruit, therefore, no seeds to keep it going.
