Many things kept me away from computer and farm the last few weeks. I am back again with another posting.
There are plenty of wild bitter gourd grow in the area. The plant is new to the area for I do not remember seeing one during my childhood. The gourd is similar with the "peria katak" that were sold in pasar malam, only slightly smaller in size. Looks like edible, but have never try... Cows and goats also do not quite bother the plant. The plain looking gourd turned loud with riots of red and orange colors once it over riped and "blooming", exposing the seeds.
The plant creeps indiscriminately over dead trunks and branches, with bright yellow flowers. 
The budding fruit is evident very early
Voila! The seeds are ready to drop and populate!
