14 Apr 2018 - Bittergourd plant growing well

After slightly more than a month from being just a seed, our bittergourd plant started to bloom.  This is the first time I see how a bittergourd flower looks like.

Bittergourd is a vine that bears tendril, a specialized stem with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support, generally by twining around suitable hosts found by touch.

A number of buds can be seen on the plant now.  Hopefully we can see some fruits soon.

By the way, our orchid should be blooming soon too.
