Did you know that the practice of carving pumpkins originated from a tradition in Ireland?

The most popular pumpkin to carve for Halloween is the Field Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), which is one of the oldest varieties of pumpkin in existence!

A speaker stands in front of an audience wearing black jeans and a black sport coat. Behind him are green curtains, and big block white letters that say 'ASPB.' A male speaker stands on a stage with a green curtain background and big block white letters that say "ASPB" behind him. There is a lectern directly in front of him with a "Plant Biology" sign across the front. On the left side of the image there is a large screen with the title page of the speaker's slideshow presentation. In the foreground of the photo there are tables lined with a black table cloth and chairs facing the speaker.
