The fall decorations at the Desert Botanical Garden are all centered around pumpkins, squash and gourds. Remember that tree composed of pumpkins that I posted at the beginning of the month? The theme of pumpkins, squash and gourds was followed all over the garden.
I believe that purple one on top is painted in some way. I did a search about what kind of pumpkin is purple and there doesn't seem to be any naturally that color.
I did see several of these cages filled with a variety of "cucurbita".
This wreath made of dried flowers and fruit was also an attractive touch. You get the feeling that fall is in the air even if there are days when the weather isn't agreeing.

I wonder how much of that is grown locally, or how far is is trucked.
I like this season !! Pumpkins of all colours, sizes, and shapes can be seen everywhere.
I love the pumpkin arrangements, Sharon.
Beautiful fall decorations! Soon on their heels will be the reds, greens, and golds of Christmas.
Lovely colors and textures that look even better in the desert!
That first photo is wonderful, so many pumpkins!
Here in Australia it's spring and there's barely a pumpkin in sight.
Thanks for clarifying on the purple one. I was going to ask!
I need to make myself a wreath for next march when Autumn comes around here, have a nice weekend.
