1734.5 Steil ’13 (x 335 Scherber)- 2/11/14 pollination (day 1)

For comparison here is day 1 on the 1734.5 Steil plant. Hard to tell this early in the developmental process but this looks like it is a mini version of the mother. I would expect this pumpkin to be round and white at maturity. Seeing that the lobes were symmetrical is encouraging that this pumpkin will also have a good internal structure which is a trait that I want to see carried on and is encouraging that I have incorporated it into my crosses this winter season.
