A squash surprise!

With the added weight of flowers on this clump of Maximillian Sunflowers, their stems have begun leaning toward the ground. To my surprise, growing right in the middle of this clump is an Iroquois Squash. It was even more surprising, since its particular parent plant had a hard time getting established and growing this summer. Even though this is the only squash this particular plant was able to produce, it will provide several seeds for many future plants.
