Found this in my garden this morning. One stem, two flowers on the tips. Never saw 'twins' before.

Oh, it's a Pickling kind.

Anyone ever see this before??

I haven't grown one like that, but I've found more than a few in bushels of cukes I've bought in the past. Cool to see it still on the stem.

If you grow a lot of squash and cukes, you get them sometimes. Sometimes they even live to maturity.
