"Pumkins" more properly called Gourds.

Brought back from Germany, where they are grown by a friend by the thousand! If I could have carried them I could have brought more. There are also in the arrangement, some leaves picked off the floor of a car park in Venlo, Holland. How do they manage to get the really huge leaves. I have not seen any English ones so big - either maple or sycamore leaves. There are some conkers, and plastic acorns in their little cups. It is seasonal!

Thanks Irish, I like it. I didn't tell you there are also some artificial leaves on that tray, they are not noticable in the general mix. I like Autumn colours. Love Marge.

I grow these sometimes myself. They're fascinating.
