Default Bizzare courgette

I love courgette and in a mindless moment planted roughly 9!! luckily only 3 came up (now starting to crop nicely thankyou) I thought it would be nice to have a bit of a change and whilst I thought it too late to sow any more found a couple of little yellow courgette plants, one has just started to produce some rather funny shaped yellow courgettes the has started to produce green ones hmm why is this, I think (and i know thats dangerous but..) it might be because they are planted fairly close to the other green ones and therefore suspect that the same bee is hopping from courgette to courgette in a rather drunken gourged sort of manner do you think this is what is causing the yellow one to go green?

some produce multiple colours on one plant, so it's not impossible that you have one of this variety - by design or mistake.

the cross-pollination will only affect the seeds that come from the result, not the fruit on the plants you already have.
