Having just braved the wind and rain here's what the fruit off mine looks like: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h222/bofphoto/00f1c46a.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h222/bofphoto/108fc07f.jpg not such regular pronounced ridging but it's definitely there. Sorry but no, that's not it. The ridges are neither regular enough, nor pronounced enough. We have a Chaenomeles on the wall outside the front of the house and I've had a look at that one, too. My friend says it looks like a minute pumpkin, which is a very good description. Ray thinks it looks like a small (as in teeny) Satsuma once peeled and of course without the white pith etc. The photo that bof gives does look suspiciously similar to the pic your posted. Since the lady who is asking you to identify the plant walks past the plant each day, can't she nick a bit of the foliage and give it to you? They're going to ask about it with the owner and photograph it, too, when the weather permits. It's been really vile in the west country, so I hope everyone and their garden has survived unscathed! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
