Thank You, Patrice

This is the blossom of a birdhouse gourd seed that patricespassion sent me. She sent one gourd that she had cleaned and drilled the opening in (for a bird) just waiting to be painted or fancied up - but I like the natural look so much I'm having a hard time doing this.

She sent another gourd to break open and use for seeds. So, I have about 12 plants doing very well, blossoming and I think I can see the formation of a little gourd that is right now only about 1 inch long. It's so cute, light green and fuzzy. I'm sure I'll blip that soon.

I hope this optimism doesn't jinx the plants.... Cross your fingers.
