Field Notes

Description:

Planta herbácea anual de la familia de las cucurbitáceas.
La planta posee grandes hojas verdes formando un dosel sobre los frutos, que nacen de brotes laterales en las axilas de éstas. Emite zarcillos, por lo que se la puede guiar por una espaldera o dejarla crecer sobre el suelo de forma rastrera. Los tallos, gruesos y espinosos están divididos en nudos de los que nace un zarcillo y una hoja.

Habitat:

Huerto en Segart (Valencia).

Thanks, Isabella. I've just been a year to 1000 spottings. A year of studying the nature and photography, a year splendid. I hope to continue many years learning with Noah. Gracias, Isabela. Justamente he estado un año para 1.000 fichas. Un año de estudiar sobre la naturaleza y la fotografía, un año espléndido. Yo espero seguir muchos años aprendiendo con Noah.

This spotting is a nod to Spanish cucumber to help them to know their properties and quality. Esta ficha es un guiño al pepino español, para ayudar a que se conozcan sus propiedades y calidad.
