Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Please identify this squash

8 years ago

I got this yesterday at a pumpkin patch, along with several other squash/gourds. I forgot to ask the people who work there to identify it and haven't been able to find it online. It looks a little like a spaghetti squash but I don't think it is. Some of these curved into almost a circle. Anybody have any idea what it might be? Thanks!

I am trying to put together a guide to identify the 100 or so most common squash varieties, I hope you don't mind if I use your photo here:

I saw comments about identifying male & female squash flowers. Here are some photos of the ones I cultivated from seed. A female bud and a developing butternut which I put in a hammock as a support.
