Cute pumpkin flower

in #petalslast year

The flower on the top looks like a squash or squash family. A species of gourd-blade vines. There are six species of lagerinaria, all of which are tropical. The most well-known species, Calabash, has been domesticated by humans and has spread beyond a number of countries. Other species are not cultivated. Gourds of different species can be collected at an early age and used as vegetables. Typically, pumpkins are matured, then dried and used to make pots (including musical instruments and pots). Pumpkins have been used since ancient times to store water and other liquids. The generic name Lajenaria comes from the classical Latin Lajena meaning bottle or flask, plus the Latin suffix-aria. This flower takes a long time to take shape. At first the gourd tree has a bunch of leaves on its head and from the bunch it is in the shape of a cocoon of some types then it bears white flowers. Then a few days from pale white. After a week the flower starts to dry and finally the pumpkin takes shape and it takes about 15-16 days to mature pumpkin..
