Gourd vine is out of control...........


I planted these gourds just to fill up the trellis but they didn't take off until August.  Now they have vines hanging down in the walk way and blooms are everywhere.  The frost will get them before any gourds form.



It is almost to windy and cold now for it to open completely.  It has a great sculptural form and the white is beautiful.

If they don't open, does that mean you'll be 'out of your gourd'?
Sorry, Larry, it's late and I get silly when I'm tired! LOL
It's a beautiful flower, can they be covered and protected from the weather? I have no green thumb!

The white is beautiful. What a shame it's so late. Maybe next year....

The blooms are very nice - that's a wonderful close-up. We are still experiencing highs around 92 each afternoon!

A great idea to fill a trellis!
