Baby Gourd with Bloom

This is a tiny gourd baby with it's beautiful gourd blossom. I didn't pay much attention to this gourd vine when I planted it. Later I noticed that it had grown despite my neglect. The bloom was a beautiful sandy white color. The exciting part was when the baby gourds appeared, you can see this one just under the blossom.

All of my photos are of plants in my back yard. Taken with a digital Nikon Cool Pix 995 camera and lightly PhotoShopped.
