Hi everyone! Okay so I am not being cryptic, I really need to know the
name of this "item" - the plant itself is vine like (creeping/ climbing) the leaves
are large and similar to the passion fruit leaf, this "pod" is an elongated shape
with a knobbly texture, turning more yellow as it ripens, there are red seeds
inside that apparently have a camphor like scent to them. Any ideas?!
Postcript 7.04.10: Thanks to Flower Spy for identifying this odd plant.
It's called Bitter Gourd - click here for more info and also visit Flower spy's blog

Wow, i have never seen anything like it, where did you finde it, and in which country ? What ever it is, it´s verry beautiful :)
I have no idea, but it's intriguing! Looks like a fruit of some kind - well, obviously, it's a fruit, but I mean the edible kind. I don't know!
This image was taken in Portugal and I have not noticed this plant in South Africa !?!?!

It looks like some sort of a gourd, or if edible, a squash. A lot of such plants have bizarre shapes.
not a clue! but a neat picture!
I have no idea what that is, but it sure is beautiful!
Alien seedpod left over from District9???? :-)
I don't know but the bokeh is lovely!
Hi from Macro Mon. Uh, I think it's a vegetable (like squash), but I'm not sure. Great texture and color.
I have no idea! It does look like a seedpod, weird.
I don't know what it is, but I love how it was taken through the fence.
