Flowers of Zihuatanejo
Creeping Cucumber
Melothria pendula
Flowers by Colour
This delicate vine creeps and can create mats along the forest floor and will also climb into nearby shrubs and trees. he bright flowers are tiny, ¼ inch across or smaller, have 5 petals. There seems to be general agreement that the light green fruits are not only edible but have a very nice light cucumber taste and are a great addition to salads.
