Stella's Theme Song
“Stella, Little Star on the Hill” — official biography track
Why I’m One of a Kind
Three things that make me different from every other kid in the Patch.
- My skin is fine velvety fuzz smooth very soft bumpy stripes 5-6 lines barely visible. Nobody else in the Patch feels like me. You have to touch me to know.
- My stem is thick green healthy striped attached to main vine, curved, healthy, firm. That is the handle you hold me by, and mine is a really good one.
- I got eight out of ten for being even all the way round. That means I sit flat on a step and I will not roll off it.

The Keeper of Novelty Hill
Stella was named for bright star-like orange glow in Hobart patch, born in Novelty Hill area pushing through weeds and grass to become a rescue pumpkin for a child at Ward Family Rescue. Today it reads as vibrant safety-orange glossy coat with faint lime crackle mottling fading to uniform orange. It weighs 0.98 lbs at the latest reading. No parent vine has been identified, so it is recorded as a volunteer. It grew in the Patchrealm of Novelty Hill, and it went home at the Harvest Party on Sunday, October 4.
