Question
Found wild cucumber in full bloom with "hedgehog" in upstate New York. Since we are not truly a New England state, was wondering if it is Clementis instead.
Answer
Dear Kbidwell, Great image of Echinocystis lobata (wild cucumber). The long slender prickles on the ovary of the flower identify this as Echinocystis. Best wishes.
