Pumpkin family

I am sure this belongs to the Gourd family.  But which one?  Hopefully I shall see the fruit sometime ( it is not growing in my house).  Correction - could be the pumpkin as Swaram has pointed out - same family though - Cucurbitaceae


Botanical name: Cucurbita pepo    Family: Cucurbitaceae (Pumpkin family)
Synonyms: Cucumis pepo



Will write more about the vine after hopefully confirming the fruit.

    To participate in the game, it need not be gardening. It can be anything that you like. Maybe my post has confused you, and for that I'm sorry. You also can choose when you want to play along or not at all ;-)
