Loofah

I saw loofah on the roof of my house today. The root of the loofah grows in the mound beside the guardrail, but the stem crawls on the guardrail. The leaves of the loofah are "mountain" shaped, the leaves are very rough, and the leaves in some places overlap, leaving no gaps; the leaves in some places are sparse, the loofah vines are pentagonal, without a bit of hair, Fujit climbed up the guardrail. A strong wind blew, the leaves made a rustling sound, and the sound was very good, like a beautiful piece of music. The soft loofah vine does not fall off the guardrail. Why? I carefully observed that three or four filaments were extended from the long leaves, and the filaments were green. This is the hand of the loofah.

As soon as the loofah's hand touched the guardrail, it "snapped" tightly, grabbed the loofah vine, and prevented him from falling. The loofah vine climbed up on the guardrail little by little. The hand that grabs the guardrail will slowly wrap around the guardrail for a few laps. If your fingers don't need a little bit of strength, then you can pull down the loofah vine.

There are several pale yellow loofah flowers in the melon leaves, and there are countless fluff in them. From time to time there are ants to patronize, I guess there may be sweet nectar in it! There are five pale yellow stamens in the middle of the flower, some like yellow paper that is smashed into a ball, and some are like golden yellow "small mushrooms."

There is a flower bud behind each flower, and the dragonfly will gradually grow into a loofah. Before the loofah grows up, the flowers will not fall. When the loofah grows up, the surface is rougher than before. The grown loofah is not very hard, but I don’t know why there are often wasps, do they want to eat loofah?
