My mystery squash have bloomed! I had saved some seeds last year which I think where from a pumpkin but I am not sure. Planted them in a pot just to see what would happen and they grew! They don't seem to be making runners which I thought was common for pumpkins.
I thinned them twice already since I wasn't sure if they would grow (I just tossed some seeds in) and I still have five plants. Now the wait begins!

Hopefully something!
It will be interesting to see if you get something edible from them. It's fun having mystery seeds. I picked up a seed head from the ground at a big display garden and grew them and they turned out to be a very pretty canna brasiliensis.

I don't think so but anything is possible!
Pumpkins can hybridize with summer squash and gourds, probably not a pure pumpkin since as you've observed the different foliage. I had one that tasted pretty good. I have lots of volunteers in my yard and encourage them, plants spring up where they grow the best, don't argue with mother nature.

True. Just have to wait...
How fun to wait for the fruit to form. I love a good mystery!
