Fruits of calabashes or bottle gourds have been used as popular containers for various things after dried and tailored.  I enjoyed taking part in a workshop where we participants enjoyed decorating dried calabashes with strips of beautiful fabrics.  

This is a very well-known and used phrase meaning something totally unexpected but very good happens.  It literally means a healthy, vigorous colt pops out of a calabash.
