"Dead but not gone." 1103 Zaychkowski and mostly gone... 263 Est. Clayton (1103 Zaychkowsky x 1462 Gibson). I've been spelling Eddy's name wrong for awhile. Hopefully correct, now. Sorry, man!
I just like how the pumpkin plant seems to have a skeleton. To me it looks like more than a dead plant, it looks like bones to me. I like how the flower has five lobes and petals and the vine has five sides, just like a human hand. And there are usually ten ribs in the pumpkin, which is not a common number in nature, its more of a humankind number. Even the uppermost weights of the pumpkin were, until very recently, comparable to the uppermost weights of a human. (Although it's certainly more admirable in a pumpkin.) I just feel a bizarre innate connection-in-design to this species...
It probably doesn't help that my grandfather farmed maxima squash, probably for baby food or pie. I feel a connection to this plant, regardless of whether it's alive... or dead.
