Field Notes

Description:

Leaves are like those of garden cucumbers. Tiny yellow flowers bear small fruits that look similar to miniature watermelons.

Habitat:

Georgia Piedmont / Indian Springs State Park - located climbing on the flat top surface of a rock wall next to a road.

Notes:

Cell phone photography - flowers are so tiny that the camera would not focus well on the individual flowers.
