Pumpkin Beauty

I have to admit I am a fan of pumpkins at every stage of the game .. through flower to pie !
We had an intense hail storm at the end of June that damaged so many plants .. pumpkin vines/flowers included. Therefore my pumpkins are really "behind"

BUT .. I love the flowers, as do all the pollen collecters ... so credit is due to a beautiful flower that may not be considered often as just that ... a beautiful flower !

Hi Moni .. you are busy with the garden pictures ! Thank you for all the comments ! I'm glad that I still find everything amazing to me in the garden .. pumpkin flowers and all .. I don't have the space I would love to have a true pumpkin patch, but trying the pot system has given me a spot light on the flowers .. you are so right about them being over looked in favor of the fruit/vegetable. I never want to take anything for granted .. other than the fact I can't stand earwigs ? haha .. thanks again !

A pumpkin never looked so good. It is great to see the flower in such a photogenic setting! We do tend to forget to look at squash flowers and only pay attention to pumpkins when they are ready to pick or make pie. Thanks for the great reminder of where the pumpkin comes from!
