Mystery Squash

I planted zucchini and butternut squash, but didn't bother marking which was which. As the containers have shuffled around I've lost all track. I think this may be one of the butternut squashes that is getting ready to flower, but I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it seems quite happy to have its own container as its gotten quite large. None of the other plants I think might be butternut squash have blossoms yet, and one of the girls on this one looks like its going to beat the boys, so if it's going to pollinate it'll have to be from one of the zucchini plants. Of course it might actually be a zucchini plant itself anyway... Next year I'll remember to mark them!

As for my first zucchini that seemed to be growing under an immaculate conception theory, sex ed appears to have caught up to it. It looks like its shrinking.
