hybrid vigor ?

	With all the discussion of hybrid vigor lately I remembered a
possible occurence of this a few years back with some C.pepos. I crossed a
small warty gourd with a regular jack o lantern type pumpkin. The pollen
came from the gourd plant. The next years result was a large 50-60 pound
all orange heavily warted something or other. It was bigger than the other
jack-o-lanterns and more warty than the other gourds. Was this an example
of hybrid vigor? Also the seeds from this odd creation reverted back to
either a small to medium gourd or a slightly misshapen pumpkin. From the
discussion I have heard it sounds as though it may have been hybrid vigor.
