This summer we discovered a little weed by our front steps. We watched it grow into a vine, then we watched it flower, eventually it put on two small pumpkins, one didn't make it.
The weather changed and the vine started to wither. I ran out to snap a few shots of the mysterious pumpkin before plucking it.
Smaller than a baseball, a tiny white pumpkin. Wonder where it came from. . .
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)
Who knew there were such things as white pumpkins? I didn't. I like the first photo best.
ReplyDeleteI love this pumpkin and as usual, your photos leave me feeling happy!

Never seen a white pumpkin before... A snow punkin maybe?
ReplyDeleteVery cool white pumpkin. That's not something you see everyday and it's a volunteer. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWow. I never knew there were white pumpkins. Terrific photos! I like the commenter who said "a snow pumpkin." :)
ReplyDelete(I just hope you tell us you did not PHOTOSHOP this! )
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have never seen a white one. Albino ;-)?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it came from Burpee (haaaahahahahaha, sometimes I crack me up).
ReplyDeleteA white pumpkin, why not?! Nice shots. Thank you for hosting this meme. I've not been participating for a while, but now I'm trying again. I love macro shooting:)
ReplyDeleteThat's cute :D
ReplyDeleteSome birdie dropped a seed and it started growing?
Lovely :D
I've never seen a white pumpkin before....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story and lovely little pumpkin! Second photo is the best for me (with all the leaves - nice colors)!
ReplyDeleteI´ve actually never seen a white pumpkin in real life. They look more appetizing to me, then the orange ones. Die you pick the pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so happy...can't help but smile, Lisa! More and more I like white pumpkins... And effortless gardening with help by birds or Mother Nature--what a bonus! Happy week to you & yours. :o)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a white pumpkin before. But now I've done it. I like these pumpkins. Nice pictures on them.
ReplyDeleteIt is the first time I'm in this photo challenge.
Have a nice week.
What a cute little pumpkin! Maybe it will grow back next year!
ReplyDeleteI never seen a white pumpkin before !!
ReplyDeleteHere are they always yellow or orange...
It looks very unique for me ;)
So cute. Love the white pumpkins. We add our old ones to the manure pile to compost over the year and usually end up with a few surprises of our own!
ReplyDeleteIt must be the coach for the Cinderella of the fairy world. I've had a white pumpkin on my front porch since Halloween 2008. It's still in perfect condition; how crazy is that?
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love little treasures like this, have fun watching them grow!
ReplyDeleteThat was a little cute one :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I have to forward this entry to my friend Ricepatty (she's a new blogger) and she loves white pumpkins! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like this very much. Lovely stuff. I am glad the anonymous vine yielded fruit.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute. so often volunteers are the strongest and healthiest of plants.
ReplyDeleteThose sneaky pumpkins always grow better than the ones we plant. Last year I only got one pumpkin off my vine. It was a lovely big one though! :-)
ReplyDeletehow neat!! sorry the other one didn't make it, but this is very nice looking
ReplyDeletebetty
