Not All Pumpkins Are Orange

The word "pumpkin" usually brings to mind a vibrant orange color but I learned recently that pumpkin varieties have expanded to include shades of red, pink, green, tan, white, and blue.

Great one, stands out among the orange crowd!

[Issi Bannerman]

Super title Gayle! And lovely image with a cool POV.

[Connie Little]

This one stands out from the crowd. Great shot. I like your PoV.

[Jenfurj]

I only ever knew the blue variety when I was growing up. Then a few different types like jap and butternut.Only since Halloween has become big in Australia are the orange varieties becoming popular.

[Babs]

sometimes it pays to be different

[Dione Giorgio]

Fav. Great shot and detail.

[Joanna kate]

Great contrasts

[Denise Wood]

Rarely see an orange one down here!!

[Islandgirl]

Well that is a different pumpkin!

[gloria jones]

Neat shot, pov, focus

[Claude Trew]

There are always exceptions to the norm in life, and this one is IT.

[MaryElizR]

Love the contrast and the composition!

[Margaret Brown]

A nice contrast to the usual colours, nice comparison.

[Helen Jane]

This one not quite so elegant in shape as the others but a lovely contrast to make the photo. We saw lots on our travels in USA - obviously.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Great image - (the things we learn on 365 :) )

[Marcy]

I never heard of that -- makes for a nice contrast with the orange ones

[Michelle]

I never realised they came in so many colours, this is certainly an unusual colour 😊

[bkb in the city]

Great find

[Gayle]

@365projectorgjenfurj @gilbertwood It's so interesting to learn that orange pumpkins are not that common in Australia! One of the things I love about this project is learning so much about different places. :-)

[Harbie]

Love your POV! We usually have some white ones in the grocery stores here.

[Chris K]

we in Australia know this one as the Queensland Blue and was the only one we had when I was a child. I love pumpkin, especially Butternut

[Louise & Ken]

Yep! I discovered "blue" pumpkins when we went to Australia, and I was able to grow them in the yard the following year! Who doesn't love variety?!
