Hollar Seeds' Cynthia A. Meyer IDs mystery plant as Koshare spoon gourd - maybe

Sage of Sycamore Springs suggests one answer to Frances Salyers' question
About: Frances Salyers wants help with ID of volunteer plant

By Cynthia A. Meyer

Honestly, and truthfully I could not find anything that looks exactly like the plant in question in any of my seed catalogs.

The closest I could find is a Koshare spoon gourd. They seem to produce green gourds with yellow bands, but have longer necks than the item in question.
