Keep in mind that while they look ornamentally sound, they are powdery mildew
prone and eventually look ragged from wind and heavy rains. Just a thought in
case you planned to use this plant for aesthetic value.

I am considering planting birdhouse gourds on a large fence in my yard
which I am looking to cover with greenery. Just wondering if it is a
nice looking plant - I found a million pictures of the actual gourds
on the internet but no real pictures of the full plant. Can someone
point me to some good pictures of fully grown gourd plants. I realize
there are a variety of plants - someone gave me seeds and one of the
gourds - it is about a foot high gourd. Thanks.
