Question
Can you tell me what this white flower is looks like it belongs to large bush/ tree? It's found in/near a wooded wetlands.
Answer
Dear maddymcdonald5, this is the fruit of Echinocystis lobata (wild cucumber), a member of the Cucurbitaceae (cucumber family). The fruit is a prickly capsule that opens at the apex by large pores to let the seeds disperse. It is a native vine of North America.
