My buttercup squash died an untimely death this year, so I hit the farmstand down the road. It's self-serve so I couldn't ask any questions. Dang it. Well, I bought some neat looking squash that I've never seen before. Can someone help me ID it? I waded through plant files and I'm not coming up with anything.
Here is a link to the three squash, two views each.

Hey Mskat; The more important shot would be showing the underside (where the blossom was attached).#1 looks like either Sweet Meat or Crown Prince. These are both C.Maxima's but the button within the ring looks totally different. #3 looks like Marina di Chioggia,but the stem looks like Queensland Blue.Both of these should have more bumps and deeper ridges.
#2-No Idea.
I don't think that the first squash is sweet meat. I've grown that one before and it is a little bit more oblong, like hubbard squash. I'd be willing to say it was a Crown Prince, though.
Squash #2's name is Sunshine http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/92151/ MsKatt.
