Blue Pumpkins, A Quest Fulfilled

Photograph from chippenziedeutch on Flickr

In Talk earlier this week, JerzeeTomato asked where to find a blue pumpkin. After a three-day search, in which she checked back in on the thread to update us all, she finally found one at a small farm stand in Delaware.

But not before she left a lot of us wondering what the heck a blue pumpkin looked like.

The pumpkin photo above isn't from Jerz—I just wanted to highlight it to show everyone blue pumpkins. I've only ever seen them in photos. This one is from Flickr user chippenziedeutch.

And here's a photo of a 'Queensland Blue' split open. The contrast of blue skin and deep orange flesh is quite striking.
