The Red Cucumber (Moi) in my side yard is growing fast. The smaller one was not pollinated and has dried up. Like with most climbers, the plants create a male and female flower. The female flower has a small fruit with a flower on the end and if the flower is not pollinated it will simply dry up and fall off. I should have taken the opportunity to try and pollinate the flower when I saw it, but did not think of it at the time. My fault!
