Just so you know, ive never seen one either. This is my first year at this hobby. Someone I know that grows said he has them all the time. I've learned he can really stretch things a lot.

He has 4 lobes with 2 segments each just like most 4 lobe pumpkins.

It looks very much like 8 lobes to me. Am I wrong ?

EIGHT!, I agree. The cross-section of the little pumpkin tells much more than a look into the flower.

Pumpking, I think this may have been a very exciting pumpkin if Bill Neptune had been able to grow it.He already has a reputation as one of the best growers in the world and is a member of the 2000 pound club.
