Pumpkin - Plant


The pumpkin plant is a rambling vine that is grown for its familiar orange fruit. They have large, dark green leaves, orange trumpet-shaped flowers, and prickly hairs on the stems and leaves. Like cucumbers, corn, and muskmelons, the pumpkin has separate male and female flowers on the same plant.
