do you know this flower - second trial - 2008/05/21 03:26 Hi,

I can only say that it appears to be the fruit of
a member of the Cucurbitaceae family.

Is this a cultivated or a native plant?
In what part of the world does it grow?
What does the foliage look like?

Re:do you know this flower - second trial - 2008/05/21 05:13 Hi zuzu,

I am now including the second image in this post too. This specific plant is wild. I shot it at the edge of a forest, at an elevation of approximately 200 meters, far from any human dwelling, in the island of Tobago, at the end of April. Sorry I do not remember anything about the foliage. I saw only one "flower" (which as you point out may be a fruit in fact).

Thank you, medved

Re:do you know this flower - second trial - 2008/05/21 22:23 'K then, this is my best guess -
Momordica charantia "Wild Balsam Apple",
a member of the wild cucumber group, for sure.

Notice in the link how closely the burst fruit resembles your picture.
And in your first pic, I believe that I can see a leaf from the plant in the background.
