I would say this is my very favorite Pattypan Summer Squash due to its unique appearance. Highly variable, sometimes showing more yellow at the scalloped edges, other times showing none. However, it seems to always show green stripes and those scalloped edges.

Squash 'Flying Saucer' is a unique, bi-colored, scalloped-type summer squash featuring a dark green center with yellow scalloped edges. The fruits are also deeply ribbed, lending an even more "alien" appearance! Fruits are ready to harvest in 50 days. The green color tends to over ride the yellow as the summer temperatures rise.
