Red Cucumber (Moi)

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!
