embryonic squash, zinnia

This is why it takes me so long to weed the vegetable garden. Yesterday I was trying to reposition some squash vines to get them out of a path, and this stem with embryonic squash attached broke off. It was so pretty, I had to walk it to the house and put it in water. I had leaned it up against a mullion in a salad bowl when I realized that combo could use some color, so I pulled a zinnia out of yesterday's arrangement, cut it stem even shorter, and added it.
