Ocean springs, mississippi

Good morning. I live in Mississippi and am looking for a very Orange pumpkin. Can anyone offer me ideas on what genetics/lines I should be looking for.

If anyone has some available I would love to get a few seeds.

Thanks Chuck

288 Buglio is another possibility

You should a request in seed exchange asking for seeds that grow dark orange along with your email address. Be prepared to send a bubble with postage but not always.

Dandytown, beautiful pumpkins. Another question, do they start out the deep orange color or were they lighter colored then turned deep orange when ripening?
