    Seventeen large luffa fruiting bodies are forming several are over 20 inches in length. Now the season has to endure long enough for the bodies to ripen.

    Your pics are gorgeous. I'm afraid I would have picked and eaten one of those as they look a lot like a cuke

    Actually, I have never eaten one. Apparently they can be eaten, but the structure is very fibrous. I only grow them for the amazing size of the fruit, and to make sponges. Growing in our climate is a bit of a challenge.
