This plant has been great and the growing pumpkin looks like it will be a near perfect orange globe. So far, I have liked what I have seen from this plant and pumpkin which I hope continues. Even though I will not get a chance to see what the pollinator plant would have produced I am very happy with the cross and can see the potential for great advancement in the breeding of “big and orange” genetics with this cross. Still a long ways from harvest, but at this point I feel that I have set myself up well with at least what I have had control over.
