I have a squash/pumpkin plant spontaneously growing in my yard and I’m wondering if anyone knows what specific kind of plant this is? The plant apps have sometimes said curcurbita maxima and sometimes said curcurbita pepo. I think the first female flower is going to open tomorrow.
Does anyone know which type of pumpkin/squash plant this is?

Looks like your basic yellow crookneck to me.
