Cucurbita pepo
Squash are colorful vegetables that grow on vines. They come in different shapes and sizes, like round, long, or even with bumps on the skin.
生息地: Gardens
The Squash plant has broad, lobed leaves that often form a dense canopy, with robust vines that can spread widely. Its distinctive large, bell-shaped yellow or orange flowers give way to fruits that vary greatly in size, shape, and color, from elongated green zucchini to round orange pumpkins.
