@journey11, that is one striking photo. Who wudda thunk a gourd could have such a stunning flower? Good photography as well, of course, should go without saying, but I had to say it anyway.

Thanks, @Smart Red . I don't know that my camera could do it justice really. The petals had a neat shimmer to them in person. I particularly love the ruffled edges on the blooms. It is unusually fancy for any of the gourds I have grown.
@so lucky , I'm not sure yet. They're too big to be birdhouses. The bottoms aren't flat enough to sit nicely either. If I cut it in half, I could have two big bowls to use for decoration or something.
Sorry, I did get busy today and forgot to get a pic for you @Carol Dee . Tomorrow!

There are so many beautiful photos posted here on the POW. It should almost be a requirement that we share copies of them -- so many could stand alone as prints -- for display at our homes.
Here is one of my personal favorites taken from this POW by Carol Dee and graciously gifted to me to enjoy forever:
Son just finished the barn wood frame that matches the fencing in the background. Thank YOU, Carol Dee, so very much!

If you cut a circle shape out of wood you could have the barrel sit in it for balance. They could be made to be relatively inconspicuous and with three 'feet' would balance anywhere.
I think wood.
