No colorful leaves... no crisp brisk winds... no leaf covered trails.....So when you live in the sub tropics you use what you must! Birds of Paradise, Mexican sage, Variegated Ginger and a Musquee De Provence pumpkin from the garden!
Isn't the color of this Musquee De Provence pumpkin gorgeous? It sorta looks iridescent!
The first blossom my Bird of Paradise bloomed!

I love love love pumpkins and anything fall-ish! You're right that pumpkin does have a scrumptious hue. I wish you much success in your pumpkin endeavors.... just remember your dear friend when the bounty rolls in! lol ;-)
Hi Mandi
Thanks for stopping by. My pumpkins didn't do very well either this year. This was actually the only pumpkin I got from that vine. I've heard everything from pollination problems to don't fertilize! Not sure myself. I am going to try again next year.
Egghead, Thanks for the compliment. I love varigated ginger. It is a beautiful plant and very hardy outside here. I bet you could grow it in a pot.
