The bitter melon we started from seeds from my mom and sister, Vong-Maly. There are three separate vines on one trellis. The seeds were sown on June 11, and are fruiting now, just three months later. The blossoms are just so delicate, the males emerging before the female flowers. The fruit in the photos are the same, just at different stages. Magnus is looking forward to eating the fruit, just to see how bitter it really is. It´s supposed to be good for diabetes and cancer. Perhaps, the awful taste would drive out any pathogens!
