The name comes from the pod’s shape: a small, rounded cup with gentle vertical ribs, much like a miniature pumpkin. In its natural state the skin is striped in soft sage green, olive and cream, with light speckling, and the cut-open top reveals a rough, cocoa-brown inner surface that contrasts with the paler outside.
Each cup is fixed on a thin natural stick, so the stems can go straight into a vase, foam block or bouquet. The muted green striping is less common among dried pods, which makes this product useful for designers who want a hint of colour without dye — in autumn and harvest themes, botanical-style interiors or relaxed garden-party table décor.
Floral Mongers supplies Pumpkin Cup & Stick naturally dried, with bunching and packing that protect the open rims. A dyed multi-colour version is listed separately as Pumpkin Cup Coloured Stick. As a supplier of natural decorative flowers and pods from India, we can discuss grading and stem lengths for wholesale programmes.

Natural variation
Being natural, each cup differs in size, rib depth and the balance of green and cream striping; some show more speckling or darker patches. Stick fixing is handmade. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry; damp can dull the natural green tones
- Display away from strong sunlight to slow fading
- Handle by the stick, not the cup rim
- Dust with a soft brush
