Mystery Volunteer Revealed...

...and man is it warty! I thought that this plant that turned up in my compost would be a Connecticut Carving-Style Pumpkin but  after a few months, voila! We have 3 plants producing yellow warty decorative gourds (squash?) that came from a single fruit composted in Spring. 

Due to the mild 70 degree days these, along with my eating Pumpkins, are thriving. I love the look of these things; they remind me of the Thanksgiving Cornucopia Pictures that I saw in my classrooms when I was a kid. 

I'm curious how big they can grow. The one bought before was about 6" tall. Guess I'll see in a few months.
