Its name comes from its striking resemblance to a temple censer — the upper portion is red, the lower portion white, with 2–5 small bumps near the base. The fruit features an orange-red rind with a grayish-white navel, while the flesh is bright orange-yellow. Large, fragrant flowers with an orchid-like scent add to its ornamental appeal. The mealy-textured flesh is suitable for stir-frying, making this squash both beautiful and useful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Unique Censer Shape – Upper red, lower white with 2–5 protruding bumps; a distinct ring (band) marks the middle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Fragrant Flowers – Large yellow, tubular flowers with a delicate orchid-like fragrance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Mealy Flesh – Dense, dry, mealy texture, ideal for stir-frying\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Ornamental \u0026amp; Edible – Attractive enough for decoration, tasty enough for the kitchen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Good Storage \u0026amp; Transport – Tough rind resists damage, stores and ships well\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Plant Characteristics – Entire (non-lobed) leaves with soft hairs; round stem cross-section\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCultivation Guidelines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Leaf Type – Entire leaves (non-lobed) with soft hairs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Stem Shape – Round in cross-section\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Flower Type – Large, yellow, tubular flowers with orchid-like fragrance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Fruit Color – Orange-red rind with grayish-white navel; orange-yellow flesh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Fruit Shape – Round upper portion, flat lower portion with 2–5 small bumps near the base; a ring (band) marks the middle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Storage – Excellent storage and transport tolerance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy Choose This Variety?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Censer Squash is a conversation piece for any garden or market.
