The roadside

Amazing "invasion"!!!!!!!
Best wishes****

this is wonderful!
Happy Sunday!❤️

Magnifique... J'ai appris une bonne chose ce matin .. Merci

Amazing...

A pity they aren't edible, they look tempting, especially in the desert!

They spread well and look attractive but does anything eat them D,
Nice capture by the way

I love this, Diana. It's like the land put on her artsy "necklaces" to set off her gorgeous summer tan :)) I am curious which animals eat the pademelons, they look like they would make a nice source of moisture in the desert climate.
Have a nice Sunday evening!

The fruits look really nice against the red earth and I like the trailing roots. An intriguing find - if I was stranded in the desert and didn't know any better, I'd probably be tempted to try one :-)

A great shot of these paddy melons, Diana. I knew they were poisonous, but decided to look up if anything eats them. The answer, in short, is NO. Not only that, but it seems they are an import from southern Africa, so they're actually a weed. Well, they look good anyway. :-)

La nature sait nous surprendre à chaque instant, quelle merveilleuse trouvaille en plein désert, c'est fabuleux !++++++++++
Bonne nouvelle semaine Diana et surtout en sécurité.

What a great find, Diana ***************************

insolite et spectaculaire

Well spotted and captured.
Congrats on Explore.

That’s very interesting, Diana ! Thanks for showing and explaining !

★彡 Good work. ⭐ Have a lovely new week 彡★

In any case they are very decorative. :)
A wonderful shot, Diana! Have a great week, and stay well! xo

Super contrast, never seen before.
Thank you Diana the colour contrast is striking.

Good to know that they are poisonous, Diana

only decorative these melons :-(( what a pity !!

Si je comprends bien, c’est une espèce de coloquinte ... très décoratives et toxiques en même temps
Superbe image Diana
Porte toi bien

What a shame they are not edible for humans, when they are in such abundance! Typical :)
An interesting shot Diana.

As Rosa says, such a pity that these are poisonous as they look very nice to eat indeed. I imagine they would soon be gone if they were eatable -even to animals. Maybe insects eat them? Just goes to show what things can come and adopt your countryside - we have lots of plant pest, one of the worse is 'Japaneses Knotweed' that can even halt house sales. -A great capture all the same my friend. Keep safe. Herb

A lovely shot Diana. It does seem strange to see these 'fruits' across the ground. They do look nice though

They look really nice, Diana, but they're good for nothing apparently. We have some non-indigenous but invasive species too.
