As I was watering my plants, I noticed that the leaves were different on one of the three squash plants. They all came from the same packet of seeds, and I grew them at the same time. The plant in the second picture is my "serendipity" squash, the one that sprouted later than the other two, but has out-grown them. The other two squash plants are under stress (maybe from the heat), but the one seems to be just fine. Perhaps the mother plant was accidentally cross-pollinated by insects, and the one plant isn't quite like the other two. I just thought it was odd that the leaves looked so different! With nature, you never know!
