The shape and markings on its fruit clearly declare this to be a member of the same family as cucumbers, melons and squash. Don't be tempted to eat one. We're told this exotic relative is foul-tasting at best and potentially poisonous at worst.

Miniature melons for a long-lasting arrangement
Fill a glass baking dish with attractive rocks. Add water. Take one cucurbitacea diplocyclos palmatus vine and place on top in a casual fashion. Garnish with several stems of yellow gloriosa lilies. Occasionally check water level and recut gloriosa stems. Even after the gloriosas fade, the vine will continue to provide an unusual and colorful accent piece.
