I'm selling over 600 + kinds of seeds ( and also live plants during the warmer months ) so check my other auctions . You are bidding on 15 Mexican miniature watermelon Seeds - Melothria scabra . Commonly known as the cucamelon, Mexican sour cucumber, Mexican sour gherkin, mouse melon, or pepquinos, this is a species of flowering plant in the cucurbit family grown for its edible fruit. Its native range spans Mexico to Venezuela.Fruits are about the size of grapes and taste like cucumbers with a tinge of sourness. Fruits are olive-shaped, grow to 2.5–4 cm (1.0–1.6 in) in length, and 1.5–2.5 cm (0.6–1.0 in) in width, and are green with dark green stripes.Flowers are small and yellow, and are approximately 4 mm (0.2 in) in diameter.Unusually for the cucurbits, the female flowers appear before the male flowers. These plants can pollinate themselves, but the individual flowers are not self-fertile. Each plant can produce hundreds of fruits,which develop at the base of the female flowers (the ovaries are inferior). It may have been eaten by indigenous peoples before the European colonization of the Americas began.
