Gourds (Genus Cucurbita)Observer
haleydroverDescription
These pumpkins can be found on Farms north of Oshawa. They are not completely natural, they are planted and the land is cultivated. However, there are multiple fields where hundreds of pumpkins are grown. Those pumpkins range in colours from white, to green and then the traditional orange. They also vary in size and shape. No two are exactly alike.
However those noted in this photo were found in fields aside from those farms where they were being grown. Perhaps animals carried seeds from one field to another unoccupied field.

A whole family of these decided to come out late at night in these bushes for a couple of weeks. They managed to make so much noise that it sounded like a small animal had made the bushes outside our door their home.

While walking through the forested area of Rouge Park I found flowers such as the one noted in the park. I do not think they were put there by man but that they are a beautiful product of natures work.
