Congratulations Mohammed - your little white flower certainly deserves an SOTD. The flowers of most vegetables/fruits go unnoticed because there is so much focus on edible parts yet, the flowers can be so pretty as this one.

@Leuba Ridgway, done! And thanks.
@Doreen.chambers.14 Its usually cultivated but I found this growing wild.
Mohammed, please complete your spotting with the scientific name Trichosanthes cucumerina. Also state where you found it under "habitat". Thanks.
I've only ever seen (and eaten) the gourd. The flower is so pretty. Thanks for sharing this Mohammed.
Wow. Is this wild or cultivated?
What a beauty!
