I have around 2 acres of hardshell gourds planted, and today while walking in the patch I found a pear shaped gourd about 6 inches in length. But what was strange about it on the but end oppisit the stem there are 3 leaves growing out of the gourd. I am new to growing gourds but have never seen anything like this. Also they are suppose to be indonesian bottle gourds in this patch not pear.
