This brings us to the original pumpkin in question. This one is difficult to say the least. 4 lobes and with a bent blossom just like Kirsha's. I believe the veins and the bent blossom are characteristics of this seed as several of the offspring all have the same thing going on so far. The blossom is touching the inside of the cone with me trying to keep it centered. I tried to get a large enough hole in the center for the bloom while keeping the ring small enough to catch the pumpkin early. Perhaps next year will be a hanging pumpkin until it's just a touch bigger so I have more room for blossom maneuvering. If all goes well, the goal is to get all 4 lobes to hit the edge of the ring at the same time so that gravity pulls them all equally here. Didn't choose a 4 lobe, was only main set I could get on a late planting so I went with it.
