This unusual gourd is from the tropics. The decorative silvery spots adorn the matte green fruits. The gourds form a straight neck and can hang undisturbed on trellises, trellises or strings. If they are bound to the ground, the characteristic curved goosenecks form. The lush growing shoots can easily reach 3 meters in height and width. The leaves, white flowers and many fruits cover trellises, walls, arbors and fences.
