in one of the mail someone had send a picture of yellow flower belonging to
cucurbitaceae family from the kitchen garden. the last mail i remember
regarding the same was somebody identifying it as pumpkin flower confirmed,
while question asked was whether it is ash gourd?
has the flower been identified?
according to me it is not pumpkin because the leaves of pumpkin are light green
where as in the photo they were of blackish green colour.
it is a flower of cucurbitaceae no doubt. but then we can think what
cucurbetaceae fruits were brought home and eaten because it was a kitchen
garden flower.
it is not coccinia because flower is not white, leaves are large.
it is not bittergourd because flower is large and leaves are large and
differenr.
it is not pumpkin as leaves are blackish green
it is not snake gourd or dudhi or madrasi cucumber as calledin local market,
sautekai in kannada, small cucumber for the same reason.
neither water melon same reason
hence it can be white pumpkin????
what is ash gourd?
the cucurbitaceae flowers are unisexual ie seperate male and female flowers..
female flower has a overy with shape of the fruit it beares.
sometimes the plant itself is unisexual so we donot see the overy or female
flower at all.
i request the sender to please check for the same.
was it sadhanaji?
