These were grown by accident. I thought they were sponge gourd, but they are pretty anyway. I have done nothing with them. The longest is about 45 inches long, far from any record.

Wow! Too bad they weren't sponge gourds. I have no idea what you could do with a goard like that. :dontknow:

The identification may be incorrect. A Chinese friend tells me the fruit is a luffa. Sponge luffa or not I will soon find out, since one or two are drying well, and I will get a look at the internal structure.
