Hi Richa,

I don’t know about yellow flower.....but I think I show this to my mom she is botany with B.sc. so I think she know about this flower......but wonderful plant of vegetables and also fresh when you cook. I like the garden of vegetable and fruit also.:)))))

hmmmmmm Zucchini is a squash, so I am right.... :D

Zucchini (IPA: /zu'kini/, in North American and Australian English) or courgette (IPA: /kʊə'ʒɛt/, in New Zealand and British English) is a small summer squash.
