I mentioned yesterday that I picked up some gourds over the weekend. Black and white gourds, ... and some others.
These are my three black and whites. Well, there is a little green tinge on two of them, but that just adds to the character.
This one is all white, which I love. It is a little stained on the one side from time in the gourd patch, but I will just leave that.
This is my favorite of the three I picked up. Such an interesting shape and predominantly black with hues of green.
And finally, this cute white and green gourd. I love the way it looks like someone painted these colors on it. These were all purchased at the nursery I visited at Bishop Aimilianos Laloussis Park on Massachusetts Avenue over the weekend. These black and white and dark green gourds were all in a box separated from the yellow and orange gourds. I think I'll go back and purchase several more of these. I would like a large bowl on the coffee table for the season.
A good start to my collection of gourds for the 2019 fall season. I have a few more that I bought earlier at a different location.
These cute little pumpkin shaped gourds are perfect in this spot on top of the entertainment center. As you can see I have done a little Halloween decorating.
Finally, this "bumpy" gourd in orange. I want to dry all of these so I can store them and use them again next year, so I will drill a hole in each of them to help facilitate the drying process. I've tried the brown paper bag routine and the newspaper on the attic floor routine and all I end up with is moldy, squishy gourds. I am going to try drilling holes this time and see how that works. More to follow.
