Red Car Property: Native Calabazilla

Photo: Diane Edwardson, July 12, 2011.  The tiny gourds are larger than a golf ball; smaller than tennis ball. (Click on photo to enlarge.) Earlier this month, I misidentified this plant as non-native Chayote Squash.  However, the first fruits indicate it's most likely native Missouri Gourd, also known as Mock Orange or (my favorite) Calabazilla, scientific name: Cucurbita foetidissima.
